Answer:

Intermolecular forces. Water is a dipole and acts like a magnet, with the oxygen end having a negative charge and the hydrogen end having a positive charge. These charged ends can attract other water molecules.

Answer:

Intermolecular forces

Water is a dipole and acts like a magnet, with the oxygen end having a negative charge and the hydrogen end has a positive charge. These charged ends can attract other water molecules.

The entire electron densities of the two hydrogen atoms get attracted towards the oxygen atom. Thus a polarity develops in each O−H bond, and therefore, the water molecules are polar in nature and act like little magnets.

The amino acids of a growing polypeptide chain are held together by what kind of bond during the elongation stage of translation

kifflom [539]

Answer: Peptide bond

Explanation: A peptide bond is the covalent chemical bond bond that holds together two amino acids which occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, an RNA-based enzyme integrated into the growing chain.

In the elongation stage ie when Long chain polypeptides are forming , peptide bonds are formed by linking many amino acids to each other. These peptide bonds of amino acids are relatively unstable, and can break spontaneously in a slow process as can be seen especially in enzymes of living organisms in the making and breaking of bonds.
