When is the new Amino acid added to the polypeptide chain?
in the ribosome :)
Amino acids are transferred to the ribosome to be incorporated into a growing polypeptide chain by?
tRNA
Which cell organelle puts amino acids together in a specific order to make proteins?
This would be the function of the ribosomes. The ribosome assembles amino acids into proteins. Ribosomes are small structures made of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein. (RNA is a molecule similar in structure to DNA.) When cells need to make proteins, they copy the instructions for the protein from the DNA of the cell by making a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA travels to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell. Another type of RNA molecule, called transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome. The tRNA molecules decode the mRNA by binding to it, so that the tRNAs bring in the correct amino acids according to the instructions in the mRNA. The ribosome helps keep this whole process organized and helps form the bonds between the amino acids to create a chain of amino acids. A chain of amino acids is called a polypeptide chain. Polypeptide chains fold up to form proteins.
Does translation take place on the ribosome?
Yes,mRNA passes the information to ribosomes,then it'll be translated to amino acids which finally form a chain of protein.
Where does the messenger RNA go?
When mRNA leaves the nucleus, it goes to the ribosomes - where it is "translated" into a sequence of amino acids that form a protein. The mRNA contains 3-base codes, which bind with a tRNA carrying a specific amino acid. When these bind, the amino acid is joined to a chain. At the end of translation this chain is a protein. This process all occurs in the ribosome.

What happens to the two amino acids carried by the two tRNA's inside a ribosome?
The two amino acids carried by the two tRNA's inside a ribosome, bind togather with a peptide bond to elongate the protein chain.
Is the nucleus the organelle that is the center for protein synthesis?
No. protein synthesis occurs in the ribosome. The ribosome receives the mRNA from the nucleus (code for amino acids) which directs the assembly of the chain of amino acids, but the nucleus is not directly responsible for the creation of the protein. Also, the ribosome isa separate organelle, even if it is attached to the nucleus while assembling the protein chain.
How are amino acids transfered to the ribosome into a growing polypeptide chain?
The ribosome uses tRNA that matches the current codon (triplet) on the mRNA to append an amino acid to the polypeptide chain. This is done for each triplet on the mRNA, while the ribosome moves towards the 3' end of the mRNA.
What is the RNA in the cytoplasm that carries an amino acid to the ribosome and adds it to the growing protein chain?
tRNA; transfer RNA.
What is the role of tRNA durning translation?
A tRNA molecule brings an amino acid from the cytoplasm to its correct location on the mRNA molecule at the ribosome where it will be added to the amino acid chain. A tRNA molecule has an anticodon that is complimentary to a specific mRNA codon for a particular amino acid.
What does tRNA carry from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes-?
Transfer RNA brings or transfers amino acids to the ribosome that correspond to each three-nucleotide codon of rRNA. The amino acids then can be joined together and processed to make polypeptides and proteins.
Difrent types of RNA?
tRNA brings amino acids to the Ribosome, rRNA makes up half of the Ribosome, mRNA is transcribed from DNA and is fed through the Ribosome, lining up tRNAs and forming the poly peptide chain.
What type of RNA is involved in bringing the amino acids to the ribosomes?
A ribosome is a part of a cell that makes different kinds of protein, using amino acids and RNA. A focal point of biology is the fact that DNA is used to make RNA, which in turn is used to make proteins. The DNA sequence in a gene is copied into a mRNA (the 'm' stands for 'messenger'). A ribosome will then read the information in this RNA and use it to create various proteins. The process explained above is known as translation, as the ribosome 'translates' the genetic information given by the RNA into proteins. Ribosomes do this by attaching to an mRNA and using it as a template to make the correct sequence of acids for a particular protein. The amino acids are attached to tRNA molecules (the 't' stands for 'transfer'), which enter the ribosome and attach the acids to the sequence of mRNA. The attached amino acids are then joined together by another part of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA, 'reading' the sequence of amino acids, and then producing a chain.
What role does amino acids play in making polypeptides?
A gene will create an RNA molecule which will be taken by a Ribosome. This Ribosome will read the coded message in the RNA molecule to place a specific amino acid in a particular place. The Ribosome will link these adjacent amino acids using a peptide bond which are incredibly strong. As the RNA goes into one end of the Ribosome, a long polypeptide chain will emerge out the other side.
Which structure will become the product of translation?
The ribosome is the structure that facilitates translation in the cell. It reads mRNA and assembles a polypeptide chain by linking together amino acids in the correct order based on the instructions encoded in the mRNA.
