Answer:

Attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In the attached picture, you'll find the requested drawing. On the other hand, when lysine and glutamic acid are bonded, the formed peptide bond implies the loss of water due to the formed linkage between the isolated amino group in the lysine and one of the hydroxile groups in the glutamic acid.

Best regards.

A dipeptide bond is a bond that connects two amino acids. It is produced by losing H and OH atoms from the two amino acids as boxed in red. The OH atom is lost in the glutamic acid, while one H atom is lost from lycine. The dipeptide bond is also boxed in red. The lost H and OH atoms are formed in the product side as one water molecule.
