← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a desiccant dries collagen?
A)Hydrogen bonds are disrupted, fracturing them✓
B)Covalent bonds crosslink, stabilizing them
C)Van der Waals forces enhance resilience
D)Ionic bonds maintain fiber alignment
💡 Explanation
When a desiccant removes moisture, it interferes with hydrogen bonding because these bonds rely on water molecules; therefore, hydrogen bonds are disrupted in collagen fibers, leading to shrinkage or cracking rather than resilience, which covalent bonds often help achieve.
