Which of the following statements about the formation of polypeptides from amino acids is true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A.

Explanation:

a. A bond forms between the carboxyl functional group of one amino acid and the amino functional group of the other amino acid.  This is the correct answer because peptide bonding is very specific, only happens between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another.

b. A bond can form between any carbon and nitrogen atom in the two amino acids being joined.  The answer is incorrect because peptide bonding is very specific it can not happen between any carbon or any nitrogen.

c. Polypeptides form by condensation or hydrolysis reactions.  This answer is wrong because hydrolysis does not occur instead of that water is form as a product of this reaction.

d. The reaction occurs through the addition of a water molecule to the am , this answer is wrong, water is formed in this reaction, water is a product of the reaction not a reactant.

Use the particle theory to describe each of the three states of matter.
Anna007 [38]
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. ... Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.

Arrange the sublevels in ascending order by the number of electrons they can contain. p sublevel s sublevel d sublevel f subleve
inn [45]

Electronic configuration of the atom describes  the arrangemnet of electrons in different shells and subshells ( sublevels).

Now , there are 4 types of sublevels: s, p , d and f . These sublevels have orbital which are spaces with high probability of having an electron and each orbital can have maximum 2 electrons.

Therefore,

s-sublevel has 1 orbital - it can have maximum 2 electrons.

p-sublevel has 3 orbitals - it can have maximum 6 electrons

d-sublevel has 5 orbitals - it can have maximum 10 electrons

f-sublevel has 7 orbitals - it can have maximum 14 electrons.

Hence, the acsending order of sublevels in terms of maximum number of electrons is:

<h2>s < p < d < f</h2>
