Background

A man just ate a plant-based hamburger with a bun and nothing else on the sandwich.Coincidentally, he visited his doctor an hour later.Out of concern that the man has been eating normally but losing weight, the doctor conducts some tests.

The initial tests and observations showed that the man's caloric consumption (using the patient's food diary) should meet his caloric expenditure so that the man should be able to maintain a relatively constant body mass.The doctor ran another test on the man's feces and found that there was an abnormally low level of proteins in the feces. Surprisingly, the doctor found higher than expected levels of amino acids in the man's feces.

No other abnormal results were found.

Q1) True or false: Based on the new evidence, digestion of proteins appears to be occurring normally.

Q2) How are most of the mass loss of the food we absorb into the internal environment?
