The covalent bond that joins two amino acids is why type of bond?

Answer 1

Amide bond

A protein's amide bonds between amino acids are broken by certain enzymes with the help of water during digestion. An amide bond is a type of ester bond formed when a carboxyl group (-COOH) reacts with an amino group (-NH_2). The reaction involves the loss of a water molecule (dehydration) from the -OH of the carboxyl group and a hydrogen from the amino group.
