The nucleotide chains of DNA are held together by covalent bonds, specifically phosphodiester bonds. Covalent bonds are generally considered nonpolar because electrons are shared equally between atoms, resulting in no partial charges along the molecule.

How many polypeptide chains are found in an antibody and how are they held together in the protein?

An antibody typically consists of four polypeptide chains: two heavy chains and two light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds, which are covalent links formed between cysteine residues, as well as non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions that stabilize the overall structure. This arrangement allows antibodies to effectively bind to specific antigens.

What kind of chemical bond is found in lipids?

Lipids primarily consist of nonpolar covalent bonds such as ester linkages in triglycerides (a type of fat) and phospholipids. These bonds are formed between the glycerol molecule and fatty acid chains.


How does dehydration synthesis play a role in the formation of DNA molecules?

Dehydration synthesis is a chemical process that links nucleotide monomers together to form DNA molecules. During this process, a water molecule is removed, allowing the nucleotides to bond together through covalent bonds. This helps in the formation of the long chains of nucleotides that make up the DNA molecule.
