Question
if a protein is heated to a very high temperature, what is most likely to happen to its function? it will dissolve in water it will work faster it will become a carbohydrate it will lose its shape and stop working
Proteins are sensitive to temperature. High - temperature causes denaturation, which means the protein loses its three - dimensional structure (shape). Once denatured, its function is impaired or lost as the active site (where it interacts with other molecules) may be altered.
