The correct answers are:

2) Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha - amino nitrogen atom on an alpha - carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid and

4) Peptides are polymers of amino acids.

A peptide bond is an amide type of covalent chemical bond. It is formed between two amino acids:  C1 (carbon end) of one alpha-amino acid and N2 (nitrogen end) of another. Peptide bonds are the basis for the formation of a peptide chain and consequently protein.  Formation of peptide bond is a condensation process, meaning that when two amino acids combine and link, water molecule is released and dipeptide is a product of that reaction.

The statement that is true about peptide bonds is;

"Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha-amino nitrogen atom on an alpha-carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid."

<h2>Further Explanation:  </h2><h3>Amino acids  </h3>
  • Amino acids act as a building blocks of proteins. They are made up of an amide group (NH2) and a carboxyl group (COOH).
  • There are 21 amino acids present in proteins and are classified as either essential or non-essential.
  • Essential amino acids are those that are obtained from the diet as humans can not synthesis them. Non-essential amino acids on the other hand are those that can be synthesized in the body.
<h3>Proteins  </h3>
  • Proteins are among the four macro-molecules in living organisms others being; lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
  • Many amino acids join together through peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains that join to form proteins.
<h3>Peptide bonds  </h3>
  • Peptide bonds are type of amide linkages that join amino acids together to form polypeptides or proteins.
  • Each amino acid in a protein is joined to another by a peptide bond.
  • During the formation of a peptide bond a carboxyl group of one amino acid combine with an amino group of another amino acid and a molecule of water is released.
  • A nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha-amino nitrogen atom on an alpha-carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid results to the formation of a peptide bond between two amino acid.
  • Therefore, peptide bond formation is an example of a dehydration reaction due to the release of water molecules.

OPTIONS:

a. When there are just two other people at the party.

b. When everyone is wearing a nametag.

c. When there are more than 50 people attending the same party.

d. When the need for help from the person who is having a heart attack is very clear

Answer:

c. When there are more than 50 people attending the same party.

Explanation:

Bystander effect is a term used in social psychology to describe the tendency of an individual to intervene in the event of an emergency to offer help to the person needing it, when others are present at the scene of the emergency.

In the case of an emergency just like the scenario stated in the question, where someone develops a heart attack at a dance party, if the party has more people, the slimmer the chance of the person getting help from any of the 50 people at the party, as the presence of others would tend to discourage the any individual from attempting to help the victim having the heart attack.

The situation that would more likely show the bystander intervention effect is <em>"c. When there are more than 50 people attending the same party."</em>
