The catalyst only catalyses between non polar and ALL polar amio acids. Here all of the shapes are polar except the oval one. So if you break the bonds between all these like in the picture you'd get 13 small peptide chains and 4 single amino acids(around the pink lines).
A peptide chain will have more than 1 amino acid/ a group of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. Usually in our body, these peptide chains have 50 to 200 amino acids. So a small peptide chain can have any number of amino acids except one. A peptide chain will have more than 1 amino acid/ a group of amio acids joined together by peptide bonds.
