Explanation:
Polypeptides are
polymers that form when amino acids are linked
together by peptide linkages. In the box above is a generic amino acid
(it’s generic because we haven’t specified what the R group is). You
need to select the correct macromolecule(s), drag, possibly rotate,
and drop each one in the correct place to produce a simple polypeptide
containing 4 amino acids. When you get the correct molecule in the
correct spot to form a peptide linkage, a water molecule, indicating
the
condensation reaction,
will be released.

Drag, Rotate, and Drop the correct molecules into the shaded
box to produce a simple polypeptide containing 4 amino
acids.
Rotating molecules:
Use Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macintosh) on an
object to rotate it clockwise.
