Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?
  • Step 1: Understand that proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids.
  • Step 2: Know that the process of making proteins is called translation.
  • Step 3: Identify that ribosomes are the cellular structures where translation occurs.
  • Step 4: Learn that tRNA, which stands for transfer RNA, is a type of molecule involved in this process.
  • Step 5: Recognize that tRNA's main job is to carry amino acids to the ribosome.
  • Step 6: Conclude that during translation, tRNA brings the correct amino acids to the ribosome to build proteins.
