Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When forming a dipeptide, condensation occurs between the ____ from a carboxyl group on one amino acid and ____ from an amine group of another amino acid.
A
OH, H
B
H, OH
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The −OH from the carboxyl group of one amino acid combines with a hydrogen atom from the amine group of the other amino acid to produce water (blue). This reaction forms a molecule called a dipeptide and the carbon-nitrogen covalent bond is called a peptide bond.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -A peptide bond is formed by a dehydration synthesis or reaction at a molecular level. This reaction is also known as a condensation reaction which usually occurs between amino acids. As depicted in the figure given below, two amino acids bond together to form a peptide bond by the dehydration synthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Peptide bonds form between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another through dehydration synthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -1: Amino acids undergo condensation to form a molecule called a dipeptide. The C−N bond is called a peptide bond. A peptide bond is the amide bond that occurs between the amine nitrogen of one amino acid and the carboxyl carbon of another amino acid. The resulting molecule is called a dipeptide.
