Which parts of the amino acids x and y are involved in the formation of a peptide bond?

The carboxyl group of x and amino group of Y

Explanation:

An amino acid is made up of a carboxyl (-COOH) functional group, an amino (-NH2) functional group and a side chain (R group) . In the joining of two amino acid molecules, a chemical bond called the peptide bond is formed. The peptide bond is formed by the chemical a reaction between the acid carboxyl group (-COOH) of amino acid X and the amino group (-NH2) of amino acid Y. This reaction is referred to a condensation reaction as one molecule of water is lost in the reaction.

The continuous linkage and formation of peptide bonds between amino acids result to the formation of a polypeptide chain.

An organic molecule that composes functional group amino and carboxylic acid with a side chain distinct for the acid is called amino acids.

The carboxyl group (x) and an amino group (y) are required in peptide formation.

what do the different brain waves do?

explanation:

brainwaves are produced by synchronised electrical pulses from masses of neurons communicating with each other. brainwaves are detected using sensors placed on the scalp. brainwave speed is measured in hertz (cycles per second) and they are divided into bands delineating slow, moderate, and fast waves.
