Question

In the process of dehydration synthesis____ are joined using ______ to form proteins

A) amino acids; ionic
B) amino acids; peptide
C) amino acids; hydrogen
D) nucleic acids; hydrogen

Answer 1

Amino acids; peptides

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B. Amino acids, peptide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dehydration synthesis is the reaction in which two or more monomers combine with one another using covalent bonds and form large polymer molecules. During this process of forming a covalent bond, water molecules are released as byproducts.

In the process of forming protein, a building a polymer of amino acids joined together to form a complex three-dimensional structure with help of peptide bonds between amino acids and remove the water molecule as the byproduct.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. Amino acids, peptide.
