What is the fate of a peptide bond in a chemical reaction?

  1. It breaks down

  2. It forms

  3. It becomes hydrophobic

  4. It becomes hydrophilic

The correct answer is: It forms

When two amino acids come together in a condensation reaction, they form a peptide bond. This bond is created through a dehydration synthesis reaction, where one molecule of water is removed to form the bond. Therefore, the fate of a peptide bond in a chemical reaction is to form, as it is the result of the reaction between amino acids. The other options, breaking down, becoming hydrophobic, or becoming hydrophilic, do not accurately describe the fate of a peptide bond in a chemical reaction.
