Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Two amino acids will bond together as the result of ____
A
Dehydration synthesis
B
Hydrolysis
C
pHolysis
D
Rehydration synthesis
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. As depicted in the figure given below, two amino acids bond together to form a peptide bond by the dehydration synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amino acids are attached to other amino acids by covalent bonds, known as peptide bonds, which are formed by dehydration synthesis reactions. The carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the incoming amino acid combine, releasing a molecule of water and forming a peptide bond (Figure 3.7).

Detailed explanation-3: -It is a peptide bond formation reaction which occurs between two amino acid molecules. The amino group of one molecule and carboxyl group of another molecule condenses with the elimination of water molecules and form an amide linkage in dipeptide.

Detailed explanation-4: -The monomers that are joined via dehydration synthesis reactions share electrons and form covalent bonds with each other.

Detailed explanation-5: -When amino acids link together through a covalent bond called a peptide bond, they will form larger three-dimensional structures called proteins or peptides.
