tRNA
No, ribosomes do not carry information to specify the amino acid sequence of proteins. Instead, they are the cellular machinery that synthesizes proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences into amino acid chains. The information specifying the amino acid sequence is encoded in the mRNA, which is transcribed from DNA. Ribosomes facilitate the assembly of amino acids in the order dictated by the mRNA sequence during protein synthesis.

proteins
No, tyrosine is not an aliphatic amino acid. It is actually classified as an aromatic amino acid due to its aromatic ring structure. Aliphatic amino acids do not contain aromatic rings in their side chains.
Ribo
The monomer used to build proteins is called an amino acid. Proteins are composed of long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds, forming polypeptide chains.
Amino acids bond together to make long chains and those long chains of amino acids are also called proteins.
Proteins
Polypeptides are short chains of amino acids, they have no functionality as a protein (long amino acid) would have.
To determine if two amino acid chains contain the same amino acids, one must compare the sequences of the chains. If both chains include identical amino acids in the same quantities and types, they can be considered to contain the same amino acids. However, even if they contain the same amino acids, differences in sequence or arrangement can lead to different properties and functions. Thus, the presence of the same amino acids does not guarantee similarity in function or structure.
The correct order from smallest to largest is: amino acid, polypeptide, protein. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are made up of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains fold and interact to form the final protein structure.
