Peptide bond is formed when
A
The carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of the next amino acid by dehydration.
B
The carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with amino group of same amino acid by dehydration.
C
The carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the hydroxyl group of the next amino acid by dehydration.
D
The carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of next amino acid by addition of one water molecule.
Explanation
In a polypeptide or a protein, amino acids are linked by a peptide bond which is formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of the next amino acid with the elimination of water moiety. The process is called dehydration.
