When an egg is cooked, proteins are not formed. Instead, the protein in the egg white (albumin) is denatured (broken down) and forms a thick white mass.

Why does a egg change color when heated biology?
The parts of the egg (proteins) have become denatured when heated (cooked).
Is a cooked egg a chemical change?
yes, a chemical change is anything that cannot be reversed, you cannot uncook an egg! The proteins in the egg are denatured and crosslinked by the heat.
What are the reactants of proteins?
Proteins are formed from aminoacids.
What process results in the hardening of an egg when its exposed to heat?
The proteins the egg are denatured.
Are proteins formed by dehydration synthesis?
No; they are formed by translation. Carbohydrates are formed by dehydration synthesis.
What new product is formed when an egg is cooked?
a solid

Why does eggs change colors when heated?
Eggs change color when heated because the protein molecules aggregate and become insoluble. Normally, the white of an egg is clear because the proteins are dissolved in water. However, when the egg is cooked, these proteins aggregate, or stick to proteins around them. These agglomerated proteins block the light differently and change the color of the egg.
Why does isopropyl alcohol react to milk?
Isopropyl alcohol reacts with the proteins in milk, causing them to denature and become solid. Another example of denatured proteins is cooked egg white.
Does frying an egg make the egg turn it to a solid?
Proteins become denatured (irreversable uncoiled and unbent) when exposed to high temperatures, extreme pH's and many other factors. When the egg is cooked (exposed to high temperatures) the proteins denature and become rigid. Since denaturation is irreversable, you cannot uncook an egg.
What do eggs do in the body?
The egg do not "function" in an omelette. An omelette IS the egg, usually several eggs that are beaten with other ingredients and cooked in a shallow pan.
What happens to proteins at a temperature above 50 degrees?
They begin to denature (sort of like an egg white turning solid as it is cooked).
Do eggs contain nitrogen?
Eggs can contain nitrogen because proteins are a source of nitrogen in food. The biological value depends on the diet of the chicken that laid the egg, and the preparation of the egg when cooked.
Does an egg change color and texture when heated due to proteins losing their shape and become insoluble?
Eggs change color when heated because the protein molecules aggregate and become insoluble. Normally, the white of an egg is clear because the proteins are dissolved in water. However, when the egg is cooked, these proteins aggregate, or stick to proteins around them. These agglomerated proteins block the light differently and change the color of the egg.
