What type of reaction forms peptide bonds?
Correct Answer: Condensation reaction
- Step 1: Understand that amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
- Step 2: Know that a peptide bond is a special type of bond that links two amino acids together.
- Step 3: Learn that a condensation reaction is a process where two molecules combine and release a small molecule, usually water.
- Step 4: When two amino acids come together, they lose a water molecule and form a peptide bond.
- Step 5: This process can repeat, linking many amino acids together to form a protein.
