Answer:

Mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation, it  transfer from one to another form.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

How does the structure of amino acids allow them to form a polypeptide
melamori03 [73]
<span>Amino acids which are known to be linked by peptide bonds they form polypeptide chains.

 Proteins are linear polymers are formed by way of linking an a-carboxy group of one amino acid to a-amino of different amino acids which have peptide bond. The formation which results from two amino acids which result in a loss of a water molecule. The best process of the reaction is hydrolysis.</span>
