When proteins are placed in extreme pH and temperature conditions they will unwind and change shape or what?

It's called Denaturing. This results in unfolding and inactivated their three dimensional structure is altered, but their primary structure remains intact. Proteins vary greatly especially under high temperatures.

What is it called when extreme conditions like high temperatures and extreme pH values change the shape of an enzyme?
Proteins become "denatured", meaning they change shape., break down and can't function the way it is supposed to, and could potentially cause a problem by getting in the way of other proteins.
A drastic conformational change in protein in response to conditions such as extreme heat pH will lead to loss of a protein function this drastic change in shape is called?
denaturation
What would be most likely to happen if some of the proteins in one of the photosystems were to change shape due to a rise in temperature?
A decrease in ATP production
Does temperature affect a proteins shape?
It absolutely does. All proteins have optimum temperatures at which they are able to operate. Temperatures unsuitable for the proteins may cause it to denature into smaller peptides, or simply change shape due to the alteration of bond energies, resulting in broken or reformed bonds elsewhere in the amino chain.
How can mutation in DNA affect what proteins are made by the cell?
Im pretty sure that dna is the instructions to make proteins so a change in the instructions = a change in the protein!

How does a large change in temperature or PH effect proteins?
It denatures it.
How does a large change in temperature or pH affects proteins?
They come apart and lose there shapeA large change in temperature or ph will cause protiens to come apart and lose their shape.
Is Scottish highland an extreme environment?
It can be, because weather conditions can change rapidly.
What is extreme climate change?
Extreme means very serious. Extreme climate change would be if the temperature rose by 5°C. This would seriously threaten most life on earth.
3 conditions that will influence the direction a reaction will go?
change in concentration change in temperature change in pressure

Does temperature speed up or slow down physical change?
It depends, but usually extreme temperature speeds it up! Good Luck!
Is an egg an physical change?
Cooking an egg is a chemical change because the proteins in the egg become denatured through exposure to heat. There is also a physical change because the denaturing of the proteins causes them to become solid at room temperature.
