No, a water molecule is released during condensation(dehydration) reactions. There are two opposite reactions: hydrolysis and condensation. Hydrolysis breaks apart polymers into monomers. In the process, water molecules are broken apart to "cap" the ends of the monomers. In condensation reactions, two monomers are joined and a molecule of water is formed and removed.

What is a peptide bond broken by?

A peptide bond is broken by hydrolysis, where a water molecule is used to break the bond between the amino acids in the peptide chain. This process involves the addition of a water molecule which leads to the separation of the amino acids.

What is the process called when amino acids are joined together and broken down?

Amino acids are joined together through condensation reactions (producing the peptide bond) and are broken down by hydrolysis (breaking the peptide bond).


What is the difference between peptide and peptide bond?

A peptide is a short chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. The peptide bond is a covalent bond that joins the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another amino acid in a peptide chain. In essence, a peptide is a chain of amino acids, whereas a peptide bond is the specific bond that holds amino acids together in a peptide chain.
