Answer:

Because is a reactive for identification protein through a reaction called Biuret

Explanation:

Biuret reagent contains CuSO4 in alkaline aqueous solution (thanks to the presence  of NaOH). The reaction is based on the formation of a violet compound,  due to the formation of a coordination complex between the Cu + 2 ions and the pairs  of non-shared nitrogen electrons that are part of the peptide bonds,  this if the reaction is positive. When the biuret reaction is negative, it becomes colored  blue.

For example: The protein chains present in the egg white when subjected to  Biuret reagent, which in its composition has 10% NaOH (which does not participate in the  reaction but its presence is of fundamental importance since it provides the  basic medium needed) together with CuSO4, it was seen that cupric sulfate  reacted with the protein present in the egg albumin solution, and it  turns violet which indicates that the reaction was positive.

What term describes the close association of a fungus with the root of a tree?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

a mycorrhiza

Explanation:

Mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations that occur between fungi and the roots of most vascular plants, which are those that have sap-carrying vessels.

Fungi increase the nutrient absorption capacity of plants while providing sugars and amino acids essential for the existence of fungi.  That is, both (fungi and plants) are mutually beneficial. This is because fungi nourish plants and they, in turn, during photosynthesis produce carbohydrates that are assimilated by the fungi.

Mycorrhizae absorb nutrients from the soil and transmit them to plants. In this way, plants absorb water and mineral salts more easily and are therefore able to develop better and resist disease as well as climate change.
