← ScienceWhich consequence results when a high temperature weakens?
A)Proteins lose their tertiary structure.✓
B)Metals exhibit increased crystalline order.
C)Polymers undergo cold temperature vulcanization.
D)Ionic solids become more brittle slowly.
💡 Explanation
Protein tertiary structure degradation occurs because increased thermal energy disrupts sensitive hydrogen bonding driving protein folding, leading to denaturation. Therefore, proteins unfold, rather than other crystalline or polymerization changes which need specific driving forces or materials.
