What molecule brings the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis?

a tRNA is the carrying mechanism for Amino Acids to be integrated into a growing protein chain in the Ribosome however the correct AA is added through pairing of the Codon (RNA side) with the anti-codon on a section of the tRNA. If they match, the tRNA sticks around for long enough to hold the AA in place and for the ribosome to form the peptide bond.
It should be noted that the process is theromdynamically driven; it is possible for the incorrect tRNA and hence AA to be added and there is some suggestion that this is quite common. However by and large evolution has taken steps to ensure that generally the possibility of error is quite low by having the codon system specifying the Amino Acids to be redundant (multiple similar codes for each AA) and by a mechanism called wobble base pairing. Essentially it is an error-correction mechanism that works based on thermodynamics. Pretty Cool!

∙ 9y agoThe RNA that brings in the correct amino acid during translation is the tRNA. tRNA is also known as transfer RNA because it transfers the amino acids.

What carries an amino acid to a ribosome during protein synthesis?
traspfar or rna
What role does the ribosome?
They provide surface for protein synthesis.They are sites of protein synthesis
What process immediately preceeded protein synthesis at the ribosome?
Transcription
What job does the ribosomes have?
A ribosome facilitates protein synthesis (translation).
What process takes place in the Ribosome?
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis. This is where mRNA is read and a sequence of amino acids are joined together to form a polypeptide/protein.
Which structures or molecule found on prokaryotic cell perform protein synthesis?
Ribosome
The ribosome is a organelle that functions in the process of?
A ribosome is the organelle that functions in protein synthesis.
What molecule brings a specific amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis?
transfer RNA
How is the ribosome involved in protein synthesis?
It puts together the amino acids to create the protein. ribosome synthesise protein molecule from amino acid, using genetic information carried by mRNA molecules from the DNA in the nucleus.
What organelle is necessary for protein synthesis?
ribosomes are necessary for protein synthesis
What organlle is the center for protein synthesis?
The ribosome.
Why ribosome called protein factories?
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
What is the site of protein synthesis in the cell composed of rRNA and protein?
Ribosome.
What and where is the ribosome?
They are tiny organells.They involve in protein synthesis.
Which is the site directly involved in protein synthesis?
Ribosome
What are the main function of ribosome?
it is necessary for protein synthesis
What carries an amino acid to a ribosome during protein synthesis?
traspfar or rna
