What class of organic molecules is damaged by high temperature?
Enzymes are proteins. They are very important because they catalyse metabolic processes in the body that would not be able to occur without them. Their function is dependant upon their shape. If an enzyme is not the correct shape for the molecules it need to bind to then it will not be able to catalyse the process it is involved in. The shapes (quaternery structure) of enzymes are the result of attractive forces between funtional groups within the protein. These attrative forces are quite weak, and high temperatures within the body will break them and the enzymes will lose their shape (they are de-natured). Once the structure is lost it cannot be reformed again, so the process regulated by any enzyme that has denatured no longer function properly.
What is the chemical equation for proteins?
Proteins have a very complicate chemical formula but not a "balanced chemical equation".
Like atoms can molecules can become ions true or false?
Some molecules can become ions, especially at very high temperatures or at other high-energy conditions. For example, a hydrogen molecule can become a positive ion by losing one of its electrons.
What is the process of a stone becoming a diamond?
Stones do not become diamonds. Diamonds are formed from carbon that is placed under very high temperatures and pressures.
A gas that burns at a very high temperature?
which gas burns at a very high temperature
Why is it important not to heat the food substance which is being tested for protein?
Proteins that are heated to a very high temperature will become denatured, and inactive
Are recombinant proteins low cost?
Recombinant proteins have a very high production cost. They are not industrially produced unless there is a global demand for the recombinant product.
How proteins become a very important constituent in your body?
for growth and repair. And it is also to code our traits and genetic makeup.
When the pH if body fluids begins to fall proteins begin to?
When the intra and extra-cellular fluids become very acidic, proteins will not be broken down, because an acidosis bring the pH down, usually, no more than 1 pH. Therefore, that does not effect proteins much.
Can aluminum become a gas?
Yes only if it is melted at a VERY high temp
Is proteins a element?
Proteins are not elements; they are very complex organic compounds.
Can a virgin become an escort?
Yes, but it is probably a very bad idea. Escort is a very high risk profession.
Does butter have proteins?
Butter has a very low amount of proteins. they are rich in fats. Milk is a good source of proteins.
Market failure occurs when?
Prices of essential goods such as gas has become very high.
Why are digestive enzymes secreted into small intestine rather than in stomach?
because stomach has very high acid... so it will just denature the proteins.
Is pork high on protein?

Explain how air can become a good conductor and what happens when this occurs?
air can become a good conductor when it is heated to very high temperatures
