Not at all! This defeats the purpose of a wave.
A wave Propigates through a medium, not carries it.
Try this with a garden hose, lay it out on the ground, then give it a vertical flick, the lump will propigate through the hose, you will feel no pull as it moves, confirming my answer.

When a wave travels through a medium certain molecules travel with that wave and carry the waves signal?
No. The energy of the wave moves thru the molecules that carry it.
What is the speed of wave determined by?
It is determined by the mechanism that propagates the wave, and the properties of the medium that carry out the propagation.
How does the transverse wave carry the medium?
Transverse waves, or any type, don't carry the medium with them. If you have ever seen a duck floating on top of the water when a wave comes, you will know what I mean. The wave brings the duck up, but the duck remains in the same spot.
When a wave travels through a medium certain molecules travel with that wave and carry the wave's signal?
I know it ends with a question mark but that is not a question, it's a statment
If the wave requires a medium then the wave is classified as a?
If the wave requires a medium then it is a mechanical wave.
A wave that requires a medium to travel?
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
The Speed of a wave in a medium?
It depends on what type of wave and in which medium.
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium?
No, particles of the medium do not become part of the wave
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.
What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
Changing the medium of the wave
The disappearance of a wave into a medium?
The disappearance of a wave into a medium is called absorption.
