Answer:

It connects amino acids.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of synthesis of proteins is known as Translation. The process takes place inside the ribosome and involves tRNA and codons. The proteins are synthesised in their linear form which is composed of monomer units called amino acids.

The amino acids are therefore known as the building blocks of the proteins. These amino acids possess a carboxyl group (-COOH ), an amine group (- NH₂) and -R group.

A bond is formed between -COOH and -NH₂ in the amino acids which links the two amino acids together releasing a molecule of -H₂O, therefore, called dehydration method. This bond is known as a peptide bond which is involved in the formation of amino acid.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
