Answer:

the unknown substance is a protein

Explanation:

The biuret test is one of the tests for proteins. It  can be used to  detect peptide linkages. The biuret test is carried out in an alkaline solution. A coordination complex is formed  leading to the appearance of a  violet color.

Summarily, the biuret method is a colorimetric technique used to test for proteins and peptides.  It involves the formation of  a purple (violet) complex of Copper salts in alkaline solution.

Hence when the biuret reagent is added to an unknown substance and it turns purple, the unknown substance is a protein

What would happen to the ecosystem if there were no nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Gre4nikov [31]
Essentially all the available nitrogen for life in the form of nitrates and ammonia would eventually disappear. Nitrogen is needed to make proteins and other chemicals so it is required for all life to exist. It gets recycled so it would take many decades in most places before the available nitrogen ran out. Many crops like beans depend on it. Humans can manufacture it but it would be hard on the ecosystems of the world and eventually probably lead to the extinction of all the ecosystems of the world.


Hope this helps!
