Anastasia Haynes · Answer 1

The answer is Denaturation is reversible

Explanation:

Denaturation of proteins is the process whereby there is a disruption in the tertiary, quaternary or secondary structure of proteins which causes a conformation change in its action

denaturation is reversible, that is, the proteins can regain their native state when the denaturing influence is removed. This process can be called renaturation.
