The boiled kernels remain sweet instead of starchy because the applied heat greatly stops the enzymatic action of the corn kernels. The heat tends to stop the conversion of sugar to starch because when kernels are starchy than sugar, it will spoil easily. High sugar content preserves the corn kernels.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

<u>Temperature</u> is most likely the reason of protein unfolding (denaturation).

Explanation:

In the figure attached, coiled (3-dimensional) protein structure is changed to 2 dimensional structure in which protein is unfolded. This is most likely the result of heating proteins which destroys the hydrogen bonds and non-polar hydrophobic interactions that are necessary to establish the tertiary structure of proteins. Principally, increased temperature results in the increased kinetic energy of atoms within a molecule. If the amount of heat is sufficient to break the hydrogen bonds, protein molecule can unfold to 2D structure as shown in the figure.
