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.
A peptide bond is the covalent bond formed between amino acids. This pepetide bond is the primary linkage between protein structures
Amino acids are joined together through condensation reactions (producing the peptide bond) and are broken down by hydrolysis (breaking the peptide bond).
Yes, nucleic acids are formed with peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a bond between a nitogen and a phosphorous. These are used to produce energy in the body.
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.
A hexapeptide is a peptide composed of six amino acids linked together through peptide bonds. Since each peptide bond is formed between two amino acids, a hexapeptide would have 5 peptide bonds connecting the 6 amino acids.
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.

Amine hormones and peptide hormones are different mainly in their structure and how they are made. Amine hormones are made from a single amino acid, usually tyrosine or tryptophan. Examples include epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and thyroid hormones. Some amine hormones act quickly, especially adrenaline-type hormones, while thyroid hormones act more like steroid hormones because they can enter cells and affect gene activity. Peptide hormones are made from chains of amino acids. They can be short chains or larger protein-like hormones. Examples include insulin, glucagon, growth hormone, oxytocin, and antidiuretic hormone. Most peptide hormones cannot easily pass through the cell membrane, so they usually bind to receptors on the outside of cells and trigger signals inside the cell. In simple terms, amine hormones come from one amino acid, while peptide hormones are made from many amino acids linked together. I first saw this explained in a simple way while reading peptide education resources like peptides.io, which helped me understand that peptide hormones are basically signaling molecules built from amino acid chains.
