Answer:

When a protein is denatured, secondary and tertiary structures are altered but the peptide bonds of the primary structure between the amino acids are left intact. Since all structural levels of the protein determine its function, the protein can no longer perform its function once it has been denatured.A protein becomes denatured when its normal shape gets deformed because some of the hydrogen bonds are broken. Weak hydrogen bonds break when too much heat is applied or when they are exposed to an acid (like citric acid from lemon juice).

Describe the control group for an experiment that examines the effect of fire intensity on the biodiversity of tree communities.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

explanation below

Explanation:

The control group would be the biodiversity of the trees without the fire

The control group in the experiment would center on the biodiversity of the trees without the fire. Ideally, both the control group and the experimental groups are usually identical in every way except that the experimental group would receive the treatment that is believed to have an effect on the biodiversity of trees.
