Answer:

Condensation reaction

Explanation:

Covalent peptide bond is formed between two amino acids. It is formed by condensation reaction which is also called as dehydration synthesis reaction. One molecule's carboxyl group reacts with other molecule's amino group releasing a water molecule. This CO-NH bond is called as peptide bond or amide bond and an amide molecule is formed as a result.

An amide bond shows resonance which allows its stabilization and versatility of molecule in different environment. The amino acids link together via condensation reaction to form larger polypeptide chains.

Elodia [21]

<span>Amino acids are considered as the building blocks of protein's, so amino acid rich food simply means protein rich food. There are 20 classifications for amino acids but nine of them are essential since our body can't make them. Usually in diet important amino acids are Lysine (C6H14N2O2), Leucine (C6H13NO2), Valine (C5H11NO2), Tryptophan (C11H12N2O2), Isoleucine (C6H13NO2) Phenylalanine (C9H11NO2) and Threonine (C4H9NO3).</span>
