Why is a standard curve necessary in order to determine the unknown protein concentration of the mushroom homogenate? (select all that are correct statements.)
a) A standard curve allows for the correlation between known concentrations of proteins and their corresponding optical densities.
b) It helps establish a linear relationship between protein concentration and absorbance.
c) Without a standard curve, it is impossible to accurately quantify the concentration of proteins in the sample.
d) It enables the identification of specific proteins present in the mushroom homogenate.
e) A standard curve is essential for determining the molecular weight of proteins in the sample.
