Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The reaction which occurs when a polypeptide is formed is called ____
A
a condensation reaction
B
a hydrolysis reaction
C
a hydration reaction
D
a peptide reaction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water (H2O). This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The type of reaction that forms a peptide bond is called a condensation reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -A condensation reaction is also known as a dehydration reaction. This type of reaction forms an addition product and water in the presence of a catalyst or under acidic or basic conditions. The opposite of a condensation reaction is a hydrolysis reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -In organic chemistry, a condensation reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two molecules are combined to form a single molecule, usually with the loss of a small molecule such as water. If water is lost, the reaction is also known as a dehydration synthesis.
