Question

Identify the process used to form the covalent peptide bonds that join amino acids into a polypeptide

Answer 1

Answer:

Condensation

Explanation:

A single molecule of protein can have hundreds of amino acid units which are joined together by the process of condensation. The process involves combination of two amino acids to form a dipeptide molecule. The bond between the two amino acids is called a peptide bond. Continued condensation leads to the addition of more amino acids to a protein chain. A long chain known as a polypeptide results.
