Test your understanding of the term denaturation by deciding which of the following statements are true and which are false. Note: If any part of this question is answered incorrectly, a single red X will appear indicating that one or more phrases have been placed incorrectly. True statements False statements Egg white meringue (made by beating Denaturation and digestion egg whites) contains denatured proteins. refer to the same process. Protein denaturation involves Digestive enzymes hydrolyze proteins cleavage of its peptide bonds. Soaking fish in lime juice (pH 2.3) Cooking an egg hydrolyzes its albumin. to make ceviche denatures the proteins A denatured protein has a different tertiary structure than its native state.

Explanation / Answer

false: 1. egg white meringue contains denatured proteins. when we make meringues, it is a process of frothing egg white to make foam. this foam forms when the protein unfolds but at the same time another type of structure.

2. denatured protein protein do not have tertiary structure.

3. denaturation (quaternary and secondary structures unfold) and digestion(peptide bonds break) are two different process.

4. denaturation involves cleavage of peptide bonds is false. digestion involves cleavage of peptide bonds.

true: 1. digestive enzymes hydrolyze protiens.

2. egg albumin is hydrolyzed when cooked

3. soaking fish in lime juice causes the its proteins to denature due to high acidity.
