Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When you heat the egg, you are denaturing the protein, which means you are breaking down the protein's structure, causing it to unfold and lose its original shape. This transformation occurs when heat is applied to the protein, causing the hydrogen bonds to weaken, allowing the protein's long chains to unravel and reform into a new structure.
