Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome?
Correct Answer: Transfer RNA (tRNA)
  • Step 1: Understand that proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids.
  • Step 2: Know that ribosomes are the places in the cell where proteins are made.
  • Step 3: Learn that there are different types of RNA in the cell.
  • Step 4: Identify that transfer RNA (tRNA) is a specific type of RNA.
  • Step 5: Recognize that tRNA's job is to carry amino acids to the ribosome.
  • Step 6: Conclude that tRNA is essential for protein synthesis because it brings the amino acids needed to build proteins.
