Question

Examine this model of an amino acid that has formed a peptide bond. What process is illustrated in this drawing? 

Answer 1

The condensation polymerization process is being demonstrated, where two molecules come together to form a larger molecule while releasing a smaller molecule, in this case water.

Answer 2

Answer : The process illustrated in this drawing is, condensation.

Explanation :

Amino acid : The acid that contains two functional groups that are carboxylic group, $-COOH$ and ammine group, $-NH_2$.

When the two or more that two amino acids join together with the help of peptide bond, they produces polypeptide chain or protein.

The bond present between the two amino acid is called a peptide bond.

The peptide bond is a chemical bond that is formed between the two molecules  when the nitrogen of one amino acid react with the carbon of another amino acid by releasing a water molecule. This is a dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction.

Condensation reaction : It is a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule and producing water as a byproduct.

Hence, the process illustrated in this drawing is, condensation.
