  1. Peptide bonds.

    Protein segments are also referred to as polypeptides.


  2. PEPTIDE BONDS

  3. Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond.

    So the answer is B

  4. peptide bonds

    The bottom of the one amino acid has a carboxyl group.

             C=O

             !

             OH

    The top of the next one has an amino group

             N-H

             !

             H

    The OH of the carboxyl group and the H of the amino group bond to form H2O which splits out. The C then bonds with the N.This is a peptide bond.


  5. the answer is B.
