You Would Expect a Peptide Bond to Link

Question

You would expect a peptide bond to link
A) two simple sugars.
B) two amino acids.
C) two nucleotides.
D) a sugar and a peptide.
E) a peptide and a fatty acid.

Accepted Answer

A peptide bond is a covalent bond that links two amino acids together to form a peptide chain, which ultimately results in the formation of a protein. Simple sugars are linked by a glycosidic bond, nucleotides by a phosphodiester bond, and peptides cannot be linked to sugars or fatty acids through peptide bonds.
