Answers
GPT 3.5
1. Benedict's reagent - Used to test for reducing sugars by changing color in the presence of reducing sugars.
2. Fehling's solution - Another reagent used to test for reducing sugars by changing color in the presence of reducing sugars.
3. Biuret reagent - Used to test for proteins by producing a color change when complexed with peptide bonds.
4. Kjeldahl apparatus - Used for determining the nitrogen content of organic compounds, which can be used to calculate protein content.
5. Chromatography paper - Used for separating and identifying different components in a mixture, including proteins.
6. Spectrophotometer - Used to measure the absorbance of a solution at certain wavelengths, which can be used to quantify the amount of reducing sugars or protein present in a sample.
