Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When lemon juice is added to milk, the pH of milk decreases and becomes acidic. This causes the proteins in the milk to become denatured, which means their structural shape is altered and they clump together, resulting in the formation of chunks or curds. Hence, the correct technical term for the change that occurs in the protein is denaturation. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Translocation refers to the movement of molecules or particles from one place to another, transcription is the process of generating RNA from DNA, and deamination is the removal of an amino group from a molecule. None of these processes accurately describe the change that occurs in milk when lemon juice is added to it.
