Answer:

The molecule is a protein

Explanation:

When the molecule was tested with benedict's solution and a blue color was formed, that actually meant there was no colour change because the colour of benedict's solution is blue. Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of reducing sugar, which changes it's colour to green, orange, yellow or even red; <u>the fact that there was no colour change shows the molecule is not a reducing sugar</u>.

Yellow colour when tested with IKI (Iodine-potassium iodide) also shows no colour change. IKI reagent is used to determine the presence of starch, which gives off a dark-blue colour if starch is present. Hence, <u>absence of this dark-blue colour or observation of a yellow/orange colour shows the molecules is not starch</u>.

Biuret reagent is used to test for peptide bonds in a molecule. In the presence of a peptide bond, the biuret reagent changes colour from blue to violet. The amino acids in proteins are held together by peptide bond, hence the biuret colour change shows that the biomolecule is a protein.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

limiting factor

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, certain factors hinder the growth or abundance of the population of organisms. These factors are called LIMITING FACTORS. Limiting factors, which can be biotic, food, drought, predation, disease etc, are factors that inhibits a population of organism from becoming enlarged. There are two types of limiting factors viz: density dependent (depends on size) and density independent (not dependent on size).

This is the case of a drought that dries up the stream that inhabits a population of salamanders. The drought causes the unavailability of water, which will ultimately have an effect on the growth of the salamander population. Hence, the DROUGHT is considered a LIMITING FACTOR.
