T/F:Denaturation is normally permanent.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protein denaturation is said to be irreversible when the denatured state achieved by increasing temperature or by using chemical denaturants is unable to return to the native, biologically functional state upon removal of the factor that caused denaturation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Denaturation involves the breaking of many of the weak linkages, or bonds (e.g., hydrogen bonds), within a protein molecule that are responsible for the highly ordered structure of the protein in its natural (native) state. Denatured proteins have a looser, more random structure; most are insoluble.
