What does boiling do to the enzymes in the liver?

Boiling can denature enzymes in the liver, meaning it can alter their shape and structure. This can render the enzymes inactive or less effective in carrying out their biological functions.


How does the effect of freezing differ from the effect of boiling in salivary amylase and cellulose?

Freezing would denature salivary amylase by disrupting its molecular structure, rendering it inactive. However, boiling would also denature salivary amylase but much more rapidly and completely. Cellulose is not affected by freezing but boiling can break down its rigid structure, making it more digestible.


Does boiling an egg cause it to lose protein?

Boiling an egg doesn't cause loss of protein, it does denature the protein and changes its form (changes from clear and runny to hard and white).


Does boiling water kill enzymes?

Enzymes are not alive, so they cannot be killed. Typically though, bringing an enzyme to a boiling temperature is enough to denature it. There's no evidence though that denatured enzymes in food at all affects the nutritional effects of the food.


What effect boiling has on amylase?

Boiling amylase will denature the enzyme, causing it to lose its three-dimensional structure and therefore its ability to catalyze reactions effectively. This will result in a decrease or loss of enzymatic activity.


What happens to the enzyme rennin when the temperature is raised to the boiling point?

When the temperature is raised to the boiling point, the enzyme rennin will denature, meaning it will lose its shape and function due to the high heat. This will render the enzyme ineffective in catalyzing reactions.


What is the boiling point of insulin?

Insulin does not have a boiling point, as it is a protein molecule that will denature (lose its structure and function) well before reaching a temperature close to boiling. Insulin is typically stored in a refrigerator to maintain its stability and effectiveness.


Does boiling lentils affect germination?

Yes, boiling lentils significantly affects their germination. The high temperatures during boiling denature proteins and kill the seeds, rendering them non-viable for germination. While soaked or sprouted lentils can still germinate, those that have been boiled cannot grow into new plants.


Do vegetables have cells after boiling it?

:-D Yes! But one has to admit, they were always there.


Is boiling an egg an exothermic reaction?

Boiling an egg is not considered an exothermic reaction. Instead, it is a physical process where heat is applied to the egg, causing the proteins to denature and coagulate. This process requires the input of energy (heat), making it endothermic rather than exothermic. In exothermic reactions, energy is released, whereas boiling an egg absorbs heat from the surrounding environment.


Does boiling water kill grass when poured on it?

Yes, pouring boiling water on grass can kill it by damaging the plant cells and roots.


Can heat effect plant and animal cell?

Heat can definitely effects both types of cells. If cells become too hot or cold (or vary too far from their ideal temp.) they can denature and become useless.
