A person who is one along hunger strike and is surviving only on water, will have

1. less amino acids in his urine
2. more glucose in his blood
3. less urea in his urine
4. more sodium in his urine

Correct answer: less urea in his urine

Solution

During a hunger strike with only water intake, the body has little or no incoming protein, so amino acid deamination decreases and less urea is produced. Since urea is the main nitrogenous waste from protein metabolism, its urinary excretion falls.
