Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Figure 3.11 illustrates a dehydration synthesis reaction between two amino acids, resulting in the formation of a peptide bond. Option A is incorrect because hydrolysis reactions involve the addition of water to break apart molecules, while dehydration synthesis reactions remove water to form new molecules. Option C is incorrect because disaccharides are formed from the dehydration synthesis of two monosaccharides, not amino acids. Option D is incorrect because the reaction in Figure 3.11 involves the formation of the dipeptide, not just two separate amino acids.
