Polypeptides are chains of amino acids linked together in a specific order.

What type of bonds are formed between these amino acids?

Choose 1 answer:

Peptide bonds

Glycosidic linkages

Hydrogen bonds

Ester linkage

Answer: peptide bonds

Explanation:

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.

This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.
