The term used for the condition, in which the uptake of nutrients from the small intestine is impaired is malabsorption.

The malabsorption is a condition, in which the small intestine walls become unable to uptake the nutrients in the blood. This condition can be caused by many different reasons, which affect the wall of the intestine. These conditions include infections, trauma, celiac disease, and surgery. Some diseases such as Crohn's disease, pancreatitis (chronic), or cystic fibrosis is also responsible for the malabsorption.

When peptide bonds form between 2 amino acids, they involve linkage of the ________ group in 1 of the amino acids to the _______
Lesechka [4]

Solution:

A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water (H2O). This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids.

Thus the required right answer is carboxyl group and other molecule.
