Lisa loves spending time with her sister. However, Kate is lying on the couch catching up on the sleep she had missed during the past week because of the never-ending exams and term papers. Lisa: Hey, Kate, wake up. The movie's over! Kate: Oh, I must have dozed off. How was the movie? Lisa: It was great. Too bad you missed it. Kate: Glad to hear you liked it. Let's clean up this place... there is leftover popcorn. Do you want to finish it? Lisa: The good ones are all gone, and the rest of them haven't popped. Kate: Oh, I didn't see those 'old maids'... I wonder why they didn't pop. Lisa: It may be that they weren't heated enough, but I did follow the instructions, and it worked perfectly before!

- Chemistry Ninhydrin is used to turn amino acids in fingerprints purple, make a good way to stain fingerprints. The reaction of ninhydrin with amino acids is different for proline than the other amino acids. For 19 amino acids including glycine, it takes two ninhydrin molecules to react with the amino acid to produce the purple pigment products. For proline, only one ninhydrin molecule reacts and the color of the product is not normally purple. Can someone help me solve problems a-c? Thank you!
