Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the type of bond formed between amino acids as they ultimately make up a protein?
A
nitrogen
B
enzyme
C
polypeptide
D
peptide bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A peptide bond is basically an amide-type of covalent chemical bond. This bond links two consecutive alpha-amino acids from C1 (carbon number one) of one alpha-amino acid and N2 (nitrogen number two) of another. This linkage is found along a peptide or protein chain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Peptide bonds join various amino acids together in a polypeptide covalently.
