A chain of two or more amino acids linked by peptide bonds
Real World Example
Imagine trying to string together holiday lights, where each bulb needs to connect seamlessly to the next to create a continuous, glowing display. Similarly, a peptide is like a string of lights where each bulb represents an amino acid, and the wire connecting them is akin to the peptide bond. Just as the flow of electricity through the wire lights up the bulbs to create a single, bright strand, the peptide bonds link amino acids together to form a functional chain, crucial for various biological processes.
