A glycoprotein or mucoprotein is a type of protein that contains carbohydrate groups attached to it. In the Molisch test, these glycoproteins would give a positive result by forming a purple ring when reacted with alpha-naphthol in concentrated sulfuric acid, due to the presence of carbohydrates in the structure. This is because the test is sensitive to the presence of pentoses, hexoses, and other carbohydrates.

It can be either one, depending on your meaning. You would "respond to" a question or comment directed at you. You would "respond for" someone else who cannot respond for themselves.


What will happened if Hydrochloric acid is used instead of sulfuric acid in molisch test?

Using hydrochloric acid instead of sulfuric acid in the Molisch test would yield a different result. Hydrochloric acid does not have the same dehydrating properties as sulfuric acid, so it would not lead to the formation of a purple ring with carbohydrates. The Molisch test relies on the dehydrating ability of sulfuric acid to break down carbohydrates into simpler compounds, which then react with alpha-naphthol to produce the purple ring.
