What is the type of bond that forms between amino acids in a dipeptide?
A
Glycosidic bond
B
Peptide bond
C
Protein bond
D
Ester bond
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: -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-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: -When two amino acids form a dipeptide through a peptide bond, it is a type of condensation reaction. In this kind of condensation, two amino acids approach each other, with the non-side chain (C1) carboxylic acid moiety of one coming near the non-side chain (N2) amino moiety of the other.
