Open in App
Solution

  1. Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds or covalent bonds to form proteins and polypeptides.
  2. An amino acid contains an amino (NH2)group and carboxyl (COOH) group.
  3. The peptide bond connects each amino acid to another amino acid.
  4. The amino group of one amino acid interacts with the carboxyl group of another amino acid and releases a water molecule as two amino acids are covalently bound by a peptide bond.
