A peptide bond is a ‘special’ type of ____ bond between amino acids.
A
Covalent
B
Ionic
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A peptide bond also sometimes called eupeptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed by joining the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another. A peptide bond is basically an amide-type of covalent chemical bond.

Detailed explanation-2: -Peptide bond: A covalent bond joining the -amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of another with the loss of a water molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -A peptide bond is a chemical covalent bond that joins amino acids together to form proteins. A peptide bond occurs between a carbon atom of one amino acid with a nitrogen atom of the other amino acid by removing a hydroxyl group and a hydrogen atom to form a molecule of water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Peptide bonds join various amino acids together in a polypeptide covalently.

Detailed explanation-5: -The types of bonds that hold the amino acids together in the growing protein is a type of covalent bond called peptide bonds. These bonds form between the carboxylic acid group of one amino acid residue, and the amino group of another amino acid residue.
