Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The bonding of two amino acid molecules to form a larger molecule requires which of the following?
A
Addition of a water molecule
B
Removal of a water molecule
C
Addition of a glycosidic bond
D
Formation of a hydrogen bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bonding of two amino acid molecules to form a larger molecule requires the release of a carbon dioxide molecule the addition of a nitrogen atom the addition of a water molecule formation of an ionic bond the release of a water molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The addition of two amino acids to form a peptide requires dehydration synthesis. Proteins are very large molecules containing many amino acid residues linked together in very specific order.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the process that links two amino acids together is called condensation. The condensation reaction is also called a dehydration reaction. For this, the amino group contributes one hydrogen, while the carboxyl group contributes a hydroxyl group.

Detailed explanation-4: -A peptide bond is a chemical covalent bond that joins amino acids together to form proteins. A peptide bond occurs between a carbon atom of one amino acid with a nitrogen atom of the other amino acid by removing a hydroxyl group and a hydrogen atom to form a molecule of water.
