Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The bond between two amino acids is called ____
A
Peptide bond
B
Amino acid bond
C
Nothing. There isn’t a name for it
D
Hydrogen bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Amide bond. A peptide bond, also known as amide 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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).
