When a protein is synthesized what amino acid is always the first amino acid that is positioned during any protein synthesis?

"AUG" actually corresponds to a region of code on mRNA and is NOT an amino acid.
The tRNA that has the anticodon 5' CAU 3' and recognizes AUG is a tRNA charged with Methionine.
Therefore, methionine is the first amino acid incorporated into a growing polypeptide.
Note this is true for only eukaryotes, prokaryotes have N-formyl methionine as their first amino acid.

Does a synthesis reaction always involve bond formation?
Yes, it does.
What changes are always involved in chemical reactions?
electrons are always involved in chemical reactions. how they are positioned which atom they are located if they are sharing paired unpaired etc.
Which isomer is always found in protein?
Why scientist must be cautious when new chemical that has many potential is synthesized?
A scientist always has to be cautious when delaing with chemicals, due to the toxicity, and the danger it can cause to themsevlves, and others around them.
What is the chemical reaction by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
This type of reaction is named polymerization.
Which of the following statements are correct with respect to protein synthesis?
1. If the codon AUG does not appear at the 5' end of mRNA, it codes for the amino acid methionine. 2. Many amino acids can be synthesized using one of two different codons. 3.Protein synthesis always starts with an initiation codon.
Which Is one co don that will start the process of protein synthesis?
AUG is an example of a start codon. It codes for methionine. Methionine is ALWAYS the first amino acid in a protein
Where does the cell carry out transcription?
During protein synthesis transcription takes place early in the process in the nucleus of the cell when RNA is generated from DNA. After the processed RNA leaves the nucleus it is used to create a protein product through the process of translation.
Which mRNA condon usually signals the beginning of protein synthesis?
Methionine is always the first amino acid in a protein, therefore the codon for Met would signal the beginning of protein synthesis. This codon is AUG.
Is protein synthesis a function of cell membrane?
Of course not,it is not a function of cell membrane.It is the function of ribosomes.
What two substances are made in the nucleus andmove into the cytoplasm?
During protein synthesis mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm after copying a strand of DNA, to find tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) with complimentary base pairs. Considering that protein synthesis is nearly always occurring, since humans always grow, I'm sure that the mRNA movement would class as regular.
When is the Sun positioned over the equator?
The Sun is positioned over the equator during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20th-21st (spring equinox) and September 22nd-23rd (fall equinox) each year. During these times, day and night are approximately equal in length.
Does a synthesis reaction always involve bond formation?
Yes, it does.
How do constitutive enzymes differ from inductive enzymes?
Constitutive enzymes are those, which are being synthesized continually, regardless of conditions or demand. Inductive enzymes are those which are not always present and whose synthesis is activated (or induced - hence the name) by certain molecule or compound, often a hormone or even its own substrate. As example of inductive enzyme serves pyruvate carboxylase (enzyme which turns pyruvate into oxalacetate) which is synthesized on demand and the process is activated by cortisol.

What is an inorganic substance which would always be a product of dehydration synthesis?
H2o
Is denaturalization of a protein always permanent?
No
