-During the synthesis of a polypeptide,the next amino acid in the growing polymer is added to which functional group shown in Figure 3.4?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The functional group shown in "C" is the amino group (-NH2), which is the group that reacts with the carboxyl group (-COOH) of the previous amino acid to form a peptide bond, thereby adding the next amino acid to the polymer chain.
