BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -During translation, peptide bonds are formed from the amino (N) to the carboxyl (C) terminus by removal of water (also referred to as dehydration or condensation) and catalyzed by RNA (referred to as a ribozyme) that forms part of the ribosome.

Detailed explanation-2: -Elongation: According to the codons found in the mRNA, the polypeptide chain keeps growing. Each amino acid has a peptide bond attaching it to the growing chain. Elongation continues till the whole gene is translated.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the elongation stage, the ribosome continues to translate each codon in turn. Each corresponding amino acid is added to the growing chain and linked via a bond called a peptide bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
