Peptide bonds are formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the other. Option C is correct.

he carboxyl group
(-COOH) of one amino acid combines with the amino group
(-NH_2)of another amino acid in a process known as dehydration synthesis, or condensation, to form a peptide bond.

A peptide bond is created when a water molecule is removed during this reaction, joining the nitrogen and carbon atoms.

Therefore, Option C is correct.

The complete option are :

The reaction shown is a dehydration synthesis reaction in which amino acids form a peptide bond to make a protein. What can you infer about the formation of

peptide bonds between amino acids?

A) Peptide bonds are formed between the group of one amino acid and the amino group of the other.

B) Peptide bonds are formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the group of the other.

Peptide bonds are formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the other.

D) Peptide bonds are formed between the central carbon of one amino acid and the amino group of the other.
