Which outcome occurs when ice nucleating proteins seed supercooled water?

A)Water freezes at higher temperatures
B)Water reaches lower temperatures easily
C)Supercooled droplets remain liquid longer
D)Large-scale cavitation event is triggered

💡 Explanation

Ice nucleating proteins initiate heterogeneous nucleation; because they provide a template that lowers the energy barrier for ice crystal formation, water freezes at a higher temperature, rather than remaining supercooled because homogeneous nucleation would be required.
