Upon chemical analysis, a particular polypeptide was found to contain 100 amino acids. how many peptide bonds are present in this protein?

1. 101
2. 100
3. 99
4. 98
5. 97

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The molecule given in the question, a polypeptide, is formed by the bonding of multiple amino acid molecules by peptide bonds and forming proteins by combining more polypeptides together. It is stated that the polypeptide contains 100 amino acids and since two amino acids are bonded together by a peptide bond, the total number of peptide bonds present in the polypeptide is therefore 99, one less than the total number of amino acid molecules.

I hope this answer helps.

he movement of air through earth's or any planet's atmosphere is called wind, and the main cause of earth's winds is uneven heating by the sun. this uneven heating causes changes of atmospheric pressure, and winds blow from regions with high pressure to those with low pressure.

i hope this : )
