What Type of Bond Forms Between Amino Acids at the Ribosome

Question

What type of bond forms between amino acids at the ribosome during translation?
A) peptide
B) ester
C) phosphodiester
D) hydrogen

Accepted Answer

Peptide bonds form between amino acids during translation, linking the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another amino acid. Ester bonds form during the synthesis of lipids and phosphodiester bonds form during the synthesis of nucleic acids. Hydrogen bonds are weak interactions that help stabilize the three-dimensional structure of proteins, but they do not directly link amino acids during translation.
