rewatch skip
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- R group: It's the side chain of an amino acid, not a bond linking amino acids.
- Peptide bond: Forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another, linking them.
- Amino group: A functional group ($-NH_2$) in an amino acid, not a bond between two.
- Carboxyl group: A functional group ($-COOH$) in an amino acid, not a bond between two.
So the correct answer is the option with "Peptide bond".
