Question

The diagram shows one step in the process of protein synthesis. What is the purpose of the peptide bond that is shown in the diagram? It connects amino acids. It connects ribosomes.it connects tRNA it connects anticodons

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is, It connects amino acids.

Explanation :

Protein : It is formed by assembling of amino acid which considered as the building block of proteins. It means that is made up of linkage of two or more amino acid and the two amino acid linked by a bond, known as peptide bond.

A peptide bond is a type of covalent bond which is formed between the carboxylic group
`(COOH)` of one amino acids and amine group
`(NH_2)` of another amino acid.

Hence, the purpose of the peptide bond is that it connects amino acids.

Answer 2

The right answer is It connects amino acids

A peptide bond is a covalent bond that is established between the carboxyl function carried by the α carbon of an amino acid and the amine function carried by the α carbon of the next amino acid in the peptide chain. The peptide bond corresponds to an amide function in the particular case of certain biological molecules. The peptide bond is a flat and rigid bond.
