Which of the statements about peptide bonds are true? The formation of a peptide bond involves a dehydration reaction. A tripeptide contains three amino acid residues. Peptides are polymers of proteins. Peptide bonds are ester linkages. Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an α‑carboxyl carbon atom on an electron pair of an α‑amino nitrogen atom of another amino acid.

Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an α‑carboxyl carbon atom on an electron pair of an α‑amino nitrogen atom of another amino acid.

Explanation:

Peptide bond is a form of covalent bond and it is Amide type that is formed between two molecules when carboxyl group react with one molecule of amino group to release molecule of water.The peptide bond are in form pseudo-double bond characteristic; rigid, planar, and stronger than a typical Carboxyl nitrogen single bond.

Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an α‑carboxyl carbon atom on an electron pair of an α‑amino nitrogen atom of another amino acid.

the correct answer is c
