Once it breaks down, it rarely is renatured if the temperature returns to normal. However, some proteins are capable of renaturing, although most will stay denatured.
Most commonly a protein can be denatured due to several factors. One of the most common ways of denaturing proteins is through heat. Proteins can also be denatured by exposure to alcohol.

Yes.
Enzymes and proteins. Denaturation unravels them, ruining their structure and therefore their function.

Peptide bonds that are between proteins are broken when proteins are denatured.

Denatured proteins do not have any particular shape. A denatured protein is one that has broken amino acid interactions in the secondary and tertiary structures.
If a proteins shape is changed it has likely been denatured. This is often a breakdown and rearrangement of the protein.

Renaturation is the opposite of denaturation for example in proteins. Basically in proteins if the polypeptide chain has been broken through denaturation, sometimes it is possible to be renatured or rebuilt to form the polypeptide chain.
Yes.
Yes.
In denatured proteins, a loss of function is experienced. It is also part of the process of coagulation. Coagulation is a non-reversible process, which is the opposite of denaturing.
