The following questions are case based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
31 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical changes like change in temperature (1+1+2)
or chemical changes like change in pH, the hydrogen bonds are disturbed. Due to this,
globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and protein loses its biological activity. This is called
denaturation of protein.

remains intact. Examples of denaturation of protein are coagulation of egg white on boiling,
curdling of milk, formation of cheese when an acid is added to milk.
