What are the products produced during a peptide bond formation?
A Water molecule or a molecule of H2O is released when a peptide bond is formed between two molecules.
What is the process that makes polymers?
Polysaccharides are formed by the condensation of individual monosaccharides - in the process glycosidic bonds are formed and one molecule of water is released per bond. This is a dehydration synthesis. Formation of proteins by the joining of individual amino acids via peptide bonds is also a dehydration synthesis with one molecule of water being produced per peptide bond.
What is the chemical reaction called where water is removed during the reaction?
This chemical reaction is called dehydration.
What is the forming of macromolecules is called?
dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction
What is the type of reaction that occurs when complex molecules are formed from simpler molecules and water is removed?
The condensation polymerization takes place by removal of water molecules from organic molecules as formation of Bakelite , Terylene and Nylon. in plants starch is also formed by this mechanism from Glucose molecules.
What is the joining of amino acids called?
peptide
Define the type of chemical reaction involved in the formation of a peptide linkage between two amino acids and state the other product in addition to a dipetide?
The type of chemical reaction involved is called the "dehydration synthesis reaction".
What are the products produced during a peptide bond formation?
A Water molecule or a molecule of H2O is released when a peptide bond is formed between two molecules.
What chemical reaction form polysaccharides?
Dehydration reaction because it removes the water.
A dehydration reaction can also be called?
A dehydration reaction can be (and often is) called dehydration synthesis, as the process involves synthesizing large compounds from smaller ones by removing the water from them (hence the dehydra- )
What type of reaction joins two amino acids together?
When amino acids combine to form proteins or polypeptides a condensation reaction occurs. The carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amine group of the other molecule. One molecule of water is released and this results in C(O)NH, or a peptide bond. Condensation is the reaction: the opposite process is termed Hydrolysis.
What molecule is liberated during a dehydration reaction?
H2O. That's why its called dehydration reaction
What is the process that makes polymers?
Polysaccharides are formed by the condensation of individual monosaccharides - in the process glycosidic bonds are formed and one molecule of water is released per bond. This is a dehydration synthesis. Formation of proteins by the joining of individual amino acids via peptide bonds is also a dehydration synthesis with one molecule of water being produced per peptide bond.
A dehydration reaction can also be called a?
An "elimination" reaction or "condensation" reaction.
What Bond forms between adjacent amino acids during a condensation reaction?
The bond which forms between adjacent amino acids during a condensation reaction is called a peptide bond.
What kind of bonds hold amino acids together to make proteins?
A special form of amide bond called peptide bonds.
What is the chemical reaction called where water is removed during the reaction?
This chemical reaction is called dehydration.
