Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The chemical bonds between amino acids in the primary structure of proteins are
A
Hydrogen bonds
B
Disulfide bonds.
C
Peptide bonds
D
a. Hydrophilic bonds.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Peptide bonds and disulfide bonds form the primary structure of proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -To reiterate, the primary structure of a protein is defined as the sequence of amino acids linked together to form a polypeptide chain. Each amino acid is linked to the next amino acid through peptide bonds created during the protein biosynthesis process.
