A student eats a chicken sandwich. Do any of the proteins from the chicken meat become part of the student’s body? Explain

1. No, all of the proteins from the chicken meat are broken down in the student's digestive system to smaller and smaller pieces until all the matter is gone.

4. No, all of the proteins from the chicken meat are either used for energy or leave the student’s body as waste.
5. Yes, some of the proteins from the chicken meat go through chemical reactions in the student's digestive system to make new proteins that become part of the student’s body.
6. Yes, some of the proteins from the chicken meat pass through the digestive system and get added to the student’s body without going through any chemical reactions.
