Experiment: Action of Gastric Proteases (contains pepsin and renin on proteins) Procedure: 1. Prepare 3 test tubes and place 2 mL boiled egg albumin solution on each tube. Tube 1: Add 1 mL Pepsin SolutionTube 2: Add 1 mL of Pepsin + 2 drops conc. HClTube 3: add nothing  2. Keep all the test tubes in a beaker with hot water maintained at 40°C, for one hour or longer. 3. Filter the content of each test tube and perform Biuret’s Test by adding 2 mL 10% NaOH and 2 mL dilute CuSO4 solution to each test tube. Question: What are the possible observations on each test tube? and What is its inference?
