Identify the process used to form the covalent peptide bonds that join amino acids into a polypeptide

Condensation

Explanation:

A single molecule of protein can have hundreds of amino acid units which are joined together by the process of condensation. The process involves combination of two amino acids to form a dipeptide molecule. The bond between the two amino acids is called a peptide bond. Continued condensation leads to the addition of more amino acids to a protein chain. A long chain known as a polypeptide results.

the way that the mass of carbon can be conserved through cellular respiration is through a process/law called the law of conservation of mass which even tho it undergoes a process, mass is not be destroyed or changed
