Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for the change in gelatin back from solid to liquid state and the reason why a cooked egg cannot be brought back to a liquid state.
Introduction:
Proteins are essential for tissues, cells, and organs of the body for their structure, function, and regulation. All proteins contain the same basic sub-components, but different structures. They are the essential part of all living organisms. They are the main components of body tissues (muscle, hair, etc.). They are important as enzymes and antibodies.
When an egg white is heated, it is converted from liquid to solid. When gelatin gets cooled, it gets converted from liquid to solid.

By performing a series of biochemistry tests, you will know the content of various food items. * * What are the different forms (i.e., monomers, polymers) of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins? * What macromolecules do each of the biochemical tests check for? * What would an abundance or deficiency of one of the macromolecules cause to the human body?arrow_forwardWhat is the single most important thing for the function of proteins?arrow_forward
