Answer to Question 1

Heating milk to near the boiling point causes a film to form on the bottom of the pan. This film can scorch and brown easily. Heat removes the water shell, which normally keeps the whey proteins stabilized. These denatured proteins precipitate to the bottom of the pan when milk is heated and may cause scorching.

Answer to Question 2

Specific whey proteins (lactalbumin and lactoglobulin) mesh with the milk's calcium phosphate and precipitate to form a film.
