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.

stimulus is a change in the environment that causes an organism to react. the response is the reaction to the stimulus. some examples of stimuli for zebras are drought, to many predators, and bad feeding grounds such as dead grass or plants. zebras respond to stimuli just like all other living organisms
