Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of reaction forms peptide bonds between amino acids?
  • Step 1: Understand that amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
  • Step 2: Know that a peptide bond is a special bond that connects two amino acids.
  • Step 3: Learn that a condensation reaction is a type of chemical reaction.
  • Step 4: In a condensation reaction, two molecules combine to form a larger molecule.
  • Step 5: During this process, a small molecule, usually water, is released.
  • Step 6: When two amino acids join together, they lose a water molecule and form a peptide bond.
