Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which reaction results in the conversion of amino acids to protein?
A
Condensation
B
Hydrolysis
C
Deamination
D
Phosphorylation
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -When two amino acids combine in a condensation reaction, a covalent bond forms between the carboxyl carbon of one amino acid and the amine nitrogen of the second amino acid. A molecule of water is then removed as a second product.

Detailed explanation-3: -A condensation reaction is a reaction in which a water molecule is formed, usually in bond making, for example, carbohydrates in making glycosidic bonds. Condensation reactions also occurr in protein synthesis. Where long polymers of amino acids are joined by peptide bonds.
