Understand the Problem

The question is relating to the results and observations of a Biuret Test conducted on various food samples to determine protein presence.

Answer

A, B, C, D show protein; E, F, G, H show low/no protein.

The Biuret test results indicate that samples A (boiled egg), B (chicken meat), C (powdered milk), and D (snail's meat) show a violet color, suggesting these samples have a significant protein presence. Samples E (bread), F (apple), G (fufu), and H (cal cheese) show light blue, indicating low or no significant protein presence.

Answer for screen readers

The Biuret test results indicate that samples A (boiled egg), B (chicken meat), C (powdered milk), and D (snail's meat) show a violet color, suggesting these samples have a significant protein presence. Samples E (bread), F (apple), G (fufu), and H (cal cheese) show light blue, indicating low or no significant protein presence.

More Information

The Biuret test detects proteins by reacting with peptide bonds, causing a violet color. The depth of the color correlates with protein concentration.

Tips

A common mistake is assuming any color change confirms protein presence; only a violet color indicates proteins.
