Answer to Question 1

ANS: B

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
After a serious burn, the damaged skin and underlying tissues have to be broken down before they can be repaired. This results in massive catabolism. In obesity, protein anabolism and catabolism are probably in balance, unless the individual is actively gaining or losing weight. Hypothyroidism would result in decreased energy expenditure but would not have a large effect on protein metabolism. Food allergies do not generally affect protein metabolism.
