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).

Is boiling of an egg is slow change?

Yes, boiling an egg is a slow change because it involves a physical change in the egg's protein structure due to the application of heat over a period of time. The egg transitions from a liquid to a solid state as it cooks.

Does denaturation happens after boiling an egg?

Yes, boiling an egg denatures the proteins within the egg white and yolk. This denaturation occurs due to the heat breaking the hydrogen bonds that maintain the protein's structure, causing the proteins to unfold and coagulate, resulting in a cooked egg.

What does boiling water do to the protein of bacteria?

As temperature rise, protein shape changes and enzyme function deteriorates. Eventually the protein undergoes denaturation, a change in tertiary or quaternary structure that makes it nonfunctional.


Why did osmosis not occur in the boiled egg?

Boiling the egg denatures the proteins in the egg white, causing them to coagulate and form a solid structure. This change in protein structure prevents water molecules from freely moving across the egg membrane, thus inhibiting osmosis from taking place.
