What happens to proteins at a temperature above 50 degrees?

Proteins start to denature at temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius, causing them to lose their shape and function. This can lead to a loss of enzyme activity and disruption of cellular processes in living organisms. Ultimately, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to protein degradation and cell death.


What does minimum internal temperature mean?

There is no minimum number. Suppose x is a minimum number. Then x - 1 is also a number and it is smaller than x. So x cannot be a minimum number. This argument can be used for any number that is put forward as a minimum.


A sample of water under study was found to boil ay 102 degree Celsius at normal temperature and pressure.is the water pure?

I would say that it depends. If you are at a higher altitude, the water might be able to reach a higher temperature. It actually depends on atmospheric pressure. At sea level, water boils at 100 °C (212 °F) and freezes at 0 °C (32 °F). If you boil water at a higher pressure (below sea level, for example), the boiling point would be higher than 100 °C . At a lower pressure (like in the mountains), the boiling point is a lower temperature. Example: when you are climbing Mount Everest, you will need a pressure cooker, due to low atmospheric pressure, if there is no pressure, your meal would still not be cooked. I do hope that this is helpful!Please click the botton "helpful". Thanks!
