Which of the following is an accurate description of the process shown in Figure 1?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an accurate description of a biological reaction illustrated in a provided structural diagram. The options given represent different types of biochemical processes, and the goal is to identify which process corresponds to the diagram.
Answer
The formation of a covalent peptide bond in a dehydration synthesis reaction
The formation of a covalent peptide bond in a dehydration synthesis reaction
Answer for screen readers
The formation of a covalent peptide bond in a dehydration synthesis reaction
More Information
The process illustrated shows the formation of a peptide bond between amino acids through a dehydration synthesis reaction, where water is released as a byproduct. This is a key step in protein synthesis in organisms.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse dehydration synthesis with hydrolysis. Dehydration synthesis involves the formation of a bond with the removal of water, while hydrolysis involves breaking a bond with the addition of water.
