So... which one of them do you guys think does NOT apply to the question?
1. High temperature breaks the hydrogen bonds
2. Gentle cooling will reverse the denaturation that has occured
3. The covalent bonds are not broken
4. Denaturation has resulted in a change from "runny" to "semi-sold."
5. The protein is structually different.

2. Gentle cooling will reverse the denaturation that has occured (this is a false statement, the others are true)
High temperature does break Hydrogen bonds and does denature protein so that individual protein molecules are not folded the same way they were before they were heated. This process is generally not reversible. Covalent bonds are not broken with the kind of heat put out by a typical stove.

DOES THIS HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH BOILING WATER WITH EGG IN IT?......whatever the answer it makes no difference whatsoever if you are cooking the egg at breakfast/lunch or tee time.as long as you leave the egg in the water for the required time you will get a nicely cooked egg

I just have them scrambled without breaking the neurones in my brain.
By the way: it's # 3 . it has nothing to do with this.
