Proteins are made from amino acids by the process of ______________?
Correct answer: C. Dehydration synthesis
- A. Hydrolysis
- B. Pinocytosis
- C. Dehydration synthesis
- D. Active transport
Explanation
Amino acids join by peptide bonds through dehydration synthesis, in which a molecule of water is removed as the bond forms. Hydrolysis is the reverse process, breaking peptide bonds by adding water, so it is the likely mistaken choice.
