Question

Which of the following does the illustration depict?

glycosidic bond

peptide bond

sugar bond

hydrogen bond

Answer 1

The illustration depicts a peptide bond, as the molecules are simply 2 specific amino acids covalently bonded with a bond existing between the amino group of one amino acid and the carbonyl group - carboxylic group.

Answer 2

The correct answer is peptide bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

A peptide bond refers to a chemical bond produced between the two molecules when the amino group of one molecule reacts with the carboxyl group of the other molecule, discharging a water molecule. This is an illustration of a condensation reaction, also known as a dehydration synthesis reaction, and generally takes place between the amino acids. The formed CO-NH bond is known as a peptide bond, and the formed molecule is an amide.
