Question

What process is used to link amino acids together? Name the bonds found between amino acids in a polypeptide chain? Explain the difference between a disaccharide and a polysaccharide? (Give an example of each)

Answer 1

Hydrolysis is the process used to link amino acids together.

The bond found between amino acids is a peptide bond.

A disaccharide is two monosaccharides linked together. A polysaccharide is multiple monosaccharides linked together. An example of a disaccharide is sucrose and an example of a polysaccharide is starch.
