Please explain the answer in details 

A series of tripeptides (made from one asparagine molecule, one cysteine
molecule and one glutamic acid molecule) were synthesised. Hand-draw the
skeletal structures of two possible tripeptides formed from these three amino
acids, identifying the peptide bonds in each molecule.
