Answer 1

Answer:

b. when the body converts a nutrient  to another substance, there  is no effect on mass balance.

Explanation:

The law of mass balance states that the mass stays the same in any chemical reaction, that is the reason why a nutrient in human body transforms to another substance like another substance, into muscles (that has mass), a body fluid ( that has mass) or another substance, but the total mass will keep the same, just in a different shape, nature or state.
