Why is solid butter opaque and not transparent?
because it is an emulsion. It contains fat, water and protein.
Why does raw egg white change when it becomes cooked?
Without getting too technical, it has to do with the molecular structure of protein molecules within the egg whites changing. Once the protein molecules heat up, they form tight bonds with each other, not allowing any light to pass through. That's why they go from translucent --> opaque.
The white of a raw egg is clear It contains the protein egg albumin When the egg is cooked the albumin changes from clear to opaque producing the white What is happening at the molecular l?
yes
Is it possible for a transparent animal such as jellyfish to go through a chemical change in which it becomes opaque?
yeah because it goes in on one side and gets the oppiste change.transperent opppisite opaque
What does denaturation mean and why is it important?
Denaturising is important so meats and other products can become easier to digest. When cooked the protein molucules bonds are broken causing them to move freely. However as they move about they get tangled up together. This is shown in eggs as they go from a liquid to a solid because of the tangled up protein molucules making the egg opaque.
What is the definition of opaque things?
it is because opaque
What dishes illustrate protein denaturation and how?
Protein denaturation is the process by which proteins lose their three dimensional structure. This makes them easier to digest. One example of this is cooking an egg white. The coagulation of the denaturing proteins causes the change in color from clear to opaque.
What is the name of Glass which becomes opaque when electrified?
The material is referred to as an electorchromic material.
Does refraction take place in opaque objects?
Refraction is the phenomenon which allows light to pass from one medium into the other. But opaque object will not allow light to pass through. So refraction becomes impossible in case of opaque objects.
Why can't opaque objects be observed using a light microscope?
Because if it is opaque it is blocking the light.
What kind of materials are opaque?
most solid materials are opaque because they are dense. things like liquids and gases are more spread out, that is why they aren't opaque.
What is chemical cooking?
Cooking something chemically means "cooking" it without heat. Ceviche, seviche, or cebiche is a simple blending of fish and citrus juice, with the addition of vegetables and spices. The chemical process that occurs when the acid of the citrus juice comes in contact with the fish is similar to what happens when the fish is cooked, the flesh becomes opaque and firm, but the fish is not actually technically cooked.
