Proteins denature at low ph. what characteristic of acidic environments interferes with protein folding?
a. the lack of protons in the solution breaks covalent bonds in the protein
b. the excess protons in the solution break covalent bonds in the protein
c. the lack of protons in the solution breaks hydrogen bonds in the protein
d. the excess protons in the solution break hydrogen bonds in the protein

D. The excess protons in the solution breaks hydrogen bonds in the protein

Explanation: When adding acid it adds protons so it messes with the charges causing them to unfold.

the oceanic zone is typically defined as the area of the ocean lying beyond the continental shelf, but operationally is often referred to as beginning where the water depths drop to below 100 meters (328 feet), seaward from the coast to the open ocean.
