Definition of a dipeptide?
A
1 amino acid
B
2 amino acids
C
3 amino acids
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A dipeptide is an organic compound derived from two amino acids. The constituent amino acids can be the same or different.

Detailed explanation-2: -A dipeptide is a molecule that consists of two amino acids joined together by a peptide bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dipeptide is an organic compound formed when two amino acids are joined by a peptide bond. Depending on which groups of amino acids are involved in the peptide bond four dipeptides can be formed from two different amino acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -A dipeptide is one of the many types of peptides. Peptides are organic molecules comprised of amino acid monomers that are joined together by a peptide bond. The bond forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another.
