Denatured protein molecules are ____
A
Smaller and take up more space than they used to
B
Smaller and take up less space than they used to
C
Larger and take up less space than they used to
D
Larger and take up more space than they used to
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The denatured protein molecules are larger and take up more space than they used to. Because of this, they knock into other denatured protein molecules and start to join together in large groups-this is called coagulation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Denaturation causes protein molecules to become more complex. If a person doesn’t consume high quality proteins each day, the amino acids needed for building new proteins will be obtained by protein destruction from muscle and other tissues within the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Denaturation defines the unfolding or breaking up of a protein, modifying its standard three-dimensional structure. Proteins may be denatured by chemical action, heat or agitation causing a protein to unfold or its polypeptide chains to become disordered typically leaving the molecules non-functional.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because many of the proteins original bonds have been broken, those parts of the molecule are now available to make new bonds with other substances. This changes the way the molecule reacts. Since a protein’s function is dependent on its shape, a denatured protein is no longer functional.
