Question

When peptide bonds form between 2 amino acids, they involve linkage of the ________ group in 1 of the amino acids to the ________ group of the other amino acid through the removal of a molecule of water?

Answer 1

Solution:

A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water (H2O). This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.

Thus the required right answer is carboxyl group and other molecule.
