At a health food store, you find a supplement called Liquid AAs. The product claims to be all single amino acids for easier digestion and absorption. You want to check this claim that it is only single amino acids, so you decide to conduct a Biuret test. The photo shows your results. Explain your conclusions about Liquid AAs. Are the manufacturer's claims correct?### Test Explanation:The image shows three test tubes labeled:1. **Distilled Water** - Appears colorless, as expected for a negative control.2. **Liquid AAs** - Appears purple, indicating the presence of peptide bonds.3. **Albumin** - Also appears purple, as expected for a positive control containing proteins.### Conclusion:The purple color in the Liquid AAs sample suggests that it contains peptides, implying that there are more than just single amino acids present. This result contradicts the manufacturer's claim that the product consists solely of single amino acids.
