The basic protein of hair is the keratin. Keratin is a fibrous protein which is insoluble in water. Fibrous proteins are long and narrow strands. Keratin molecules are held by hydrogen bonds, giving hair its structure.

Hydrogens bonds are easily broken and formed; [for example straightening curly hairs. Hydrogen bonds are broken when heated, hairs are straightened, the hydrogen bonds form again holding its stucture (straight) unless water is applied which disrupt the hydrogen bonds.]

Hope it helped!

A protective layer composed of overlapping cells, like fish scales or roof tiles, but facing downwards. The outer cuticle holds your hair in your hair follicle by means of a Velcro-like bond. It also minimizes the movement of water (moisture) in and out of the underlying cortex.

I need to make up an experiment !! Please help
katen-ka-za [31]

Question: Baking a Cake Without Flour.

Hypothesis: I think that when I remove the flour from the standard cake recipe, I'll end up with a flat but tasty cake.

Procedure: I baked two cakes during my experiment. For my control, I baked a cake following a normal recipe. I used the Double Fudge Cake recipe on page 292 of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. For my experimental cake, I followed the same recipe but left out the flour. I first obtained a 2-quart mixing bowl.  

Results: My control cake, which I cooked for 25 minutes, measured 4 cm high.  Eight out of ten tasters that I picked at random from the class found it to be an acceptable dessert. After 25 minutes of baking, my experimental cake was 1.5 cm high and all ten tasters refused to eat it because it was burnt to a crisp.

What did I learn?/Conclusion: Since the experimental cake burned, my results did not support my hypothesis.  I think that the cake burned because it had less mass, but cooked for the same amount of time.  I propose that the baking time be shortened in subsequent trials.
