The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Term "Dipeptide":** - A dipeptide is a type of molecule that is formed from two amino acids. 2. **Identifying the Linkage:** - The two amino acids in a dipeptide are connected by a specific type of bond known as a peptide bond. 3. **Breaking Down the Name:** - The prefix "di-" in dipeptide indicates that there are two components (in this case, two amino acids). - The term "peptide" refers to the bond formed between these amino acids. 4. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Option A:** "A structure of two peptide bonds" - This is incorrect because a dipeptide only has one peptide bond. - **Option B:** "Two amino acids linked by one peptide bond" - This is correct as it accurately describes a dipeptide. - **Option C:** "Bond between one amino acid and one peptide" - This is incorrect because it does not accurately describe a dipeptide. - **Option D:** "None" - This is incorrect since option B is correct. 5. **Conclusion:** - The correct answer is **B: two amino acids linked by one peptide bond**. ---
