tRNA molecules exist within the cell cytoplasm. They are strands of RNA, where one end is bound to a specific free amino acid, and the other end possesses an "anticodon" consisting of 3 bases complimentary to a set of 3 bases on the mRNA strand.

During translation, an mRNA molecule is "read" by a ribosome in triplicate. That is, every three bases on the mRNA molecule effectively "tell" the ribosome to bind a specific tRNA molecule to this 3-base site. With the tRNA molecule comes the associated amino acid which is attached to it, and so, in a very simplified explanation, tRNA effectively carries amino acids to the mRNA.

Bonds will then form between these amino acids, and dissociate from the ribosome, so that the end product is a long polypeptide chain.

In the cytoplasm are tRNA molecules. These are strands of RNA. One end binds to a specific free amino acid, and the other end possesses an anticodon, which is able to bind with a specific codon on the mRNA molecule

Peace.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids to messenger RNA (mRNA) in order to build the polypeptides.

yes, and after that the ribosome in the cytoplasm reads the code in triplets to make amino acids.

Does a cell have a brain?

Yes and no. Cells have something which is called a nucleus. The nucleus is kind of like the brain. It tells the cell what to do and when to divide or split. The nucleus is usually in the middle of a cell. It is surrounded by the nuclear membrane. Around the nuclear membrane is cytoplasm. Cytoplasm has smaller microbes inside which carry out the duties the nucleus(brain) has given them. The protecting the cytoplasm is the cell membrane which is the outer shell of the cell or the skin.


What is mRNA and why is it used instead of another DNA strand?

The mRNA is formed on DNA strand after transcription to carry the specific message to synthesize proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Since RNA can move from nucleus to the cytoplasm (not DNA), mRNA is used for sending messages to synthesize specific proteins.


Is the Cytoplasm an organelle?

no everything in the cell except the nucleus is included in the cytoplasm cyto=cell and plasm= liquid


What is a tiny cell without a nucleus called?

Prokaryotic cells. They do not have a nucleus, their genetic material is free in the cytoplasm as they do not have a need for compartmentalisation like more complex Eukaryotic cells that carry out more internal chemical mechanisms.


What does a cycoplasm do?

The cytoplasm is a thick liquid residing between the cell membrane holding all the cell's internal sub-structures (called organelles), except for the nucleus. All the contents of the cells of prokaryote organisms (which lack a cell nucleus) are contained within the cytoplasm. Within the cells of eukaryote organisms the contents of the cell nucleus are separated from the cytoplasm, and are then called the nucleoplasm.


Can pigeons carry messages?

Yes They have been used to Carry messages for hundreds of years.


What cellular component carries out protein synthesis?

enzymes in the nucleus copy genes from DNA to messenger RNAsmessenger RNAs migrate from the nucleus through the cytoplasm to the ribosomesribosomes bind the messenger RNAs and transcribe them to proteins using transfer RNAs, each carrying one amino acidas the protein leaves the ribosome and enters the cytoplasm it folds into its final form, if necessary enzymes add crosslinks to lock the form perminantly


Where does bacteria carry out cellular resppiration?

Cytoplasm


Do plant cells carry cytoplasm?

Yes


Where is tRNA made?

tRNA molecules carry amino acids to the site of protein synthesis


How do prokaryotic cells survive without a nucleus?

Although prokaryotic cells don't have cell organelles, they have mechanisms to keep the cell in a functional state. For example, instead of having mitochondria to carry out aerobic respiration, prokaryotic cells carry out anaerobic respiration in the cytoplasm itself.
