Question 6 • Biology

What purpose does the peptide bond serve in protein synthesis?

Answer
A
It adds a water molecule to the amino acid chain.
B
It makes a strand of mRNA.
C
It connects amino acids.
D
It releases the protein from the tRNA.

Explanation

A peptide bond joins one amino acid to another, forming the growing protein chain during protein synthesis. Water is released when the bond forms, rather than added to the chain. Therefore, the correct choice is “It connects amino acids.”
