Best Answer

When amino acids are bound together though peptide bonds, they form peptides. When the chain of amino acids becomes long enough, typically around 50 amino acids in length, it is typically referred to as a protein.

Amino group of one amino acid get attached to the acid group of the next amino acid. This process continue to form the chain.

What kind of bonds join the amino acids in a polypeptide chain?

Well! Polypeptides are chain of amino-acids better known as proteins. Those amino-acids are join together by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds form when two amino-acids undego the process of condensation reaction, or dehydration synthesis where a carboxyl group of one amino-acid reacts with the amino group of another amino acid releasing water.

What two amino acids form when they join together?

One is water. This is because in order for two amino acids to join, an OH form one and a H form another amino acid have to be removed forming H2O. This is why it's called a condensation reaction.The other molecule is a dipeptide, whenever two amino acids join it forms a dipeptide. Many amino acids joined forms a polypeptide and then pant polypeptides interacting form a protein.


How many water molecules are released when you join five amino acids?

Three molecules of water are formed when four amino acids join together. This is the result of three amide bonds that underwent condensation reactions.
