Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemical bond between amino acids is called a peptide bond. This bond forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid through a dehydration reaction, which releases a molecule of water. This creates a peptide bond, which forms the basic unit of proteins, known as polypeptides. The other options, phosphodiester and hydrogen bonds, are involved in the bond formation of nucleic acids and proteins, respectively, but not in the chemical bond between amino acids.
