Peptide bonds form on the ribosome between
A) The am ino group of a lysine R chain and the carboxyl group of an aspartic R chain
B) The carboxyl group on the carboxyl terminus of the growing chain and the amino
group of the next am ino acid
C) The amino group on the amino terminus of the growing chain and the carboxyl group of the
next amino acid
D) Amino and carboxyl groups of adjacent amino acids in the interior of the polypeptide
E) The alpha carbon and the R group

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peptide bonds form between the carboxyl group of the last amino acid in the growing polypeptide chain and the amino group of the next amino acid to be added. This process occurs on the ribosome during protein synthesis.
