Question

Create a sentence explaining how amino acids form proteins.

Answer 1

Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid.

Answer 2

Sample answer: Amino acids are monomers that combine to form polymers called proteins.
