∙ 12y agoAmino acids are used to "build" proteins. RNA codes for proteins, so when Translation occurs, the necessary proteins are added in the order that the RNA "demands".

What role does amino acids play in protein synthesis?
Amino acids are made up of chains of proteins. Ribosomes produce proteins that are based on information in the mRNA.
Are amino acids example of lipids?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are in a different category than are lipids, which can also be classified as fats. Examples of lipids are phospholipids (in cell membranes), steroids, glycerols and fatty acids, and cholesterol. If you want to know more about the role of amino acids in Protein synthesis (because this is why they exist at all--to make protein), then I would look at this presentation: http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index.asp?objID=AP1302
What are the chemical building blocks of cells?
There are several chemical building blocks of cells. These are carbons, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. Each one has a very important role in a cells viability.
What is the role of tRNA during the translation?
It links the correct amino acids together
What is the role of tRNA during translation apex?
It moves the amino acids into a chain.--APEX
What is the role of nitrogen in the production of proteins?
The building blocks of proteins are amino acids. Every single amino acid has an amine group, which has the formula NH2.
What are the roles of 20 amino acid?
The role of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids is to combine into peptide chains, which in turn are the building blocks of proteins.
What is the role of tRNA in the building of proteins?
It brings amino acids to the ribosomes. (transfering)
What is role of amino acids in protein synthesis?
Proteins are chains of amino acids. The ribosomes in cells produce proteins by chaining amino acids according to the information in the m-RNA.

Where does your body get its amino acids from?
Amino acids are the building blocks for making proteins. Humans are able to synthesize several amino acids, but there are 8 amino acids that we cannot produce ourselves, the so-called essential amino acids. We get proteins from food and can recycle them back into seperate amino acids. Either to be used as energy source or to build up proteins again.
What is the role of the DNA molecules in the synthesis of proteins?
they determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein i think
Is protein made out of RNA strands?
No, protein is not made out of RNA strands. Proteins are composed of amino acids, while RNA is a nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis. RNA is involved in translating the genetic information encoded in DNA into the sequence of amino acids that make up proteins.
What role does the liver play in defending our bodies from poisonous substances?
It breaks down amino acids and proteins
What role do amino acids play in protein synthesis?
Protein synthesis is the process of putting amino acids together to form a protein. So it's not a matter of which amino acids are vital. If you are asking which amino acids are vital in the synthesis of a specific protein, that would totally depend on which protein you are making.
Do Proteins provide most of the energy for life processes?
Proteins and carbohydrates share the role of providing energy for life's processes. Proteins are broken down into constituent amino acids by enzymes.
