Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Peptides are mainly categorized in three different ways: According to how many amino acids make up the chain: Oligopeptides have few amino acids, while polypeptides are longer chains-typically between 20 to 50 amino acids. Dipeptides, tripeptides, and tetrapeptides have two, three, and four amino acids respectively.
Detailed explanation-2: -Different Forms of Peptide Bond Dipeptide = contains 2 amino acid units. Tripeptide = contains 3 amino acid units. Tetrapeptide = contains 4 amino acid units. Oligopeptide = contains not more than 10 amino acid units.
