    1. If the protein is subject to changes in temperature, pH, or exposure to chemicals, that change the nature of or interfere with the associations between functional groups, the protein's secondary, tertiary and/or quaternary structures may change, even though the primary structure remains the same. This process is known as denaturation

      From previous knowledge, a cell,molecule, etc. usually denatures if the temperature is too high, chemical exposure and pH change. But can it also denature when the temperature drops down too low?

    2. Glucose in a ring form can have two different arrangements of the hydroxyl group (OH) around the anomeric carbon

      Since alpha glucose and beta glucose have different arrangements, does that also mean they they have different functions as well? Or is it possible for them to have overlapping function, even with their differences?

    3. fructose (the second carbohydrate that with glucose makes up the disaccharide sucrose and is a common sugar found in fruit)

      Since fructose is a sugar commonly found in fruits, does it mean that it's primarily seen as a "healthy" sugar? What is the limitation that exceeds it from being "healthy?"
