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.

How does conduction differ from convection?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

I think the first one is correct.

The second one is half right (conduction works mostly in solids). The second part is not correct. Convection works mostly in gases.

The third one is wrong about waves. Conduction usually has direct contact of particles.

The last one is not correct. There is no visible movement of matter in conduction. The definition for convection is also incorrect.
