The statement "Many different amino acids join together to form a protein" best describes polymerization. Amino acids are the basic molecules in proteins. Polymerization is the bonding of two or more molecules in order to create a larger molecule, which in this case is protein. The bonding agent between the amino acids is called the peptide bond.
