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.

The right answer is It connects amino acids.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

• There are 21 amino acids, but only one type of binding used to connect them: it is the peptide bond.

• The peptide bond is formed during the translation step by a covalent bond between an α-amino group of an amino acid and the carboxylic group of another amino acid. A molecule of water is eliminated.
