When you cook your food, you are giving heat to the food (a.k.a. kinetic energy) giving the food molecules more energy to move about. Slowly as the heat builds up and the food is reaching its boiling point, then the energy (kinetic energy), starts to break some of the intermolecular bonds. They have a strong covalent. Slowly some off the bonds free and break away, either diffusing (dispersing) into the air or change form, denaturing. As when egg is cooked, for example, some of the intermolecular bonds are broken away and hence causing the food to change shape, (as stated before denaturing).
I'm not sure if that what you wanted but that's what I think it is. Briefly that is.

∙ 14y agoproteins are highly sensitive to heat , and most proteins in vegetables/meat have a teritiary structure that is highly sterical/spatial in nature.This structure is destroyed which inturn destroys the property of most proteins rendring them useles.s.example -- eggwhite /albumin.Not very useful once cooked ..

∙ 14y agoProtein molecules maintain their structures mainly by hydrogen bonds.
At a relatively high temperature, the hydrogen bonds are twisted or destroyed.
Thus the protein changes its shape, which is called denatured.
Plenty of the unfolded proteins interconnect by newly-formed hydrogen bonds, preventing light from penetrating. That's why egg turns white.

∙ 12y agoThe texture of the chicken hardens and becomes sort of white from the inside but what happens to the protein molecules inside, well what happens is they form all together and end up being stiff and moist.

∙ 14y agothey denature. heat changes the structure of proteins.

∙ 12y agothe molecules of the food denature or change structure whether its protein carbohydrates or fat

What happens to food molecules in the intestines when they are sufficiently broken down?
u die.
Location of the energy release from food molecules?
prokaryotic cells
How did the make there food?
They cooked it They cooked it
Does cooked food remain free from pathogenic bacteria?
once you have cooked food will in remain free from pathogenic bacteria
What system turn large food molecules into smaller food molecules?
Stomach acid
What happens if the food is not washed properly before being cooked?
it is stuffed
How do microwaves cook food?
the microwave makes the water molecules in the food move and bump around this causes friction in the food to be cooked.
What happens to the shape of molecules in meat when they are cooked?
It '''denatures''' which basically means the heat changes the structure of proteins within the meat.
Is a mineral type used in the shell of a m and m?
it is in food and cooking or what ever food you cooked and do you know what kind of molecules are in your body or your system if you prefer
What happens to food molecules in the intestines when they are sufficiently broken down?
u die.
What happens to protein food that has been cooked in the microwave for to long?
uh are you dumb IT GETS BURNED
When you smell the aroma of food being cooked. what is actually taking place?
Cooking food releases molecules of its ingredients. These molecules make their way to the nose where they nestle into specialized receptors. The receptors then send impulses to the brain which we then perceive as smell
What is the difference between microwave and stove cooked food?
Microwave energy is electromagnetic (EM) radiation, and microwave ovens use energy at a frequency of about 2450 MHz (2,450 million cycles per second). This energy is in the microwave band of frequencies, hence the term microwave oven. The frequency is a good choice, because it is quite effective in causing dielectric heating in molecules in the food. This is because there are a lot of molecules within the food that will respond to the microwave energy. These molecules, because they have an electric dipole, will attempt to align themselves with the passing electromagnetic wave. They will be trying to turn back and forth at that 2450 MHz, and this generates heat, which warms/cooks the food.
How did the Cherokee cooked their food?
Fires were lit and food cooked.
What happens to atoms of hydrogen and oxygen when your body first uses food?
They make molecules of water
Location of the energy release from food molecules?
prokaryotic cells
What happens to energy when food molecules break down?
released entirely as body heat into the environment.
