Vedclass · Answer

(A) When a person is on a long hunger strike,the body does not receive any dietary proteins. Since urea is the end product of protein metabolism,the breakdown of body proteins (catabolism) continues to provide energy. However,the overall intake of nitrogenous compounds is zero. As the body breaks down its own tissues for survival,the urea production decreases significantly compared to a normal diet. Therefore,the amount of urea excreted in the urine will be less.
