Answer. Two amino acids link through peptide linkage. Peptide linkage (bond) is formed by the elimination of water molecule between the amino group of one amino acid and carboxyl acid group of another, such as
H2N-CH-COOH + HNH-CH-COOH -H20 H2N - CH-C — NH- CH-COOH

When thousands of amino acids polymerize they form protein.
