What is the name of the bond that is formed when a polypeptide is made?
A
Ester bond
B
Glycosidic bond
C
Peptide bond
D
Amine bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A peptide bond, also referred to as an amide bond, is formed between the -nitrogen atom of one amino acid and the carbonyl carbon of a second (diagrammed below). So-called isopeptide bonds refer to amide bonds between sidechain amines or carbonyl carbons on the side chain rather than -amine or -carbonyl.

Detailed explanation-2: -To form polypeptides and proteins, amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds, in which the amino or NH2 of one amino acid bonds to the carboxyl (acid) or COOH group of another amino acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -A peptide bond forms when the amino group of one amino acid bonds to the carboxyl group of another amino acid. A peptide is two or more amino acids joined together by peptide bonds, and a polypeptide is a chain of many amino acids. A protein contains one or more polypeptides.

Detailed explanation-4: -In organic chemistry, a peptide bond is an amide type of covalent chemical bond linking two consecutive alpha-amino acids from C1 (carbon number one) of one alpha-amino acid and N2 (nitrogen number two) of another, along a peptide or protein chain.
