Answer: Peptide bond

Explanation: A peptide bond is a type covalent bond that joins two amino acid molecules. It is formed by the removal of elements of water from a carboxyl group of one amino acid and an amino group of another amino acid. It is a condensation reaction that results in the formation of dipeptide molecule. Three amino acids can be joined by a peptide bond to form a tripeptide.
