When proteins are placed in extreme pH and temperature, they denature. This means their structure unfolds and permanently loses its shape, leading to loss of function. Denatured proteins may not be able to perform their normal biological roles.

What make proteins like enzymes unwind when placed in extreme pH or temperature conditions?

Denature


Proteins unwind or what when placed in extreme pH or temperature conditions?

Proteins denature when placed in extreme pH or temperature conditions. This process disrupts the protein's structure, leading it to unfold and lose its functionality. Denaturation can irreversibly alter a protein's shape and function.


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.


When enzymes are placed in extreme pH or temperature conditions they unwind and change shape This is called what?

This process is called denaturation. Denaturation occurs when the secondary or tertiary structure of a protein, like an enzyme, is disrupted by extreme pH or temperature, leading to loss of function.


Will my sewing machine be affected by temperature in the storage area?

Yes. A sewing machine should be placed in a temperature controlled area. Extreme temperature changes (which is common in a storage area) can produce condensation which will rust your machine.

Why doesn't the temperature change when diluting HCl with distilled water?

It does change, it is just not as noticeable as with sulfuric acid. If a thermometer is placed in HCl and water added, a change will be noticed.

What are the masses in grams of a 0.5 kg glass bowl and a 0.5kg iron pan that have a temperature of 68 degrees F when placed in freezer?

The mass of both the glass bowl and iron pan will remain the same at 0.5 kg when placed in the freezer. The temperature change from 68°F to the freezer temperature will not affect their mass.


Is hot glass cracking when placed in cold water a chemical or physical change?

Physical. The glass expands or contracts depending on temperature, when you put a hot glass into cold water part of the glass cools and contracts while some of it is still in it's hot, expanded state.


Why hydrophilic proteins when placed in hydrophobic solvent their is denaturation of the proteins?

Hydrophilic molecules are repulsed by surrounding hydrophobic solvent. Hydrophilic tends to connect with hydrophilic, and hydrophobic with hydrophobic. If the protein as a part which is hydrophobic, then it will twist itself to accommodate those new connections, and when they change their form, they denature.
