Solution
- The covalent bond that links the two amino acids is called a peptide bond.
- The peptide bond is formed by a condensation reaction.
- \[\ce{(-NH2)}\] of one amino acid and the carboxyl group \[\ce{(-COOH)}\] of another amino acid, resulting in the formation of a peptide linkage.
- This process can be repeated multiple times, forming longer peptide chains known as polypeptides or proteins.
