Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteins begin to denature and lose their functional shape at temperatures above 40°C or 41°C. This can lead to the breakdown of biological processes and cellular damage. RNA and DNA are not as sensitive to temperature fluctuations and can withstand higher temperatures. Cells as a whole can also withstand higher temperatures but may experience damage if exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time.
