Amino Acids are composed of three primary parts. Every amino acid has an amine and a carboxylic acid, but each amino acid has a side-chain specific to that acid.

An amino acid is attached to a tRNA molecule at the 3' end.


Molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosomes for incorporation into a protein?

The molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome is transfer ribonucleic acid, or tRNA. Each tRNA molecule is specific to the amino acid it carries.


Where exactly does an amino acid link to a tRNA molecule?

An amino acid links to the tRNA molecule at the binding site called the "aminoacyl site" (A-site) on the tRNA molecule. This process is catalyzed by an enzyme called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which ensures the accurate pairing of the correct amino acid with its corresponding tRNA molecule.


Which part of the amino acid molecule changes and which are the same in all amino acid?

In an amino acid molecule, the part that changes is the side chain, or R group, which varies among different amino acids and determines their unique properties. The parts that remain the same in all amino acids are the central carbon atom (alpha carbon), the amino group (–NH2), the carboxyl group (–COOH), and a hydrogen atom. These consistent components are what classify the molecules as amino acids.

What are the two functional parts of a changed tRNA?

The two functional parts of a tRNA molecule are the anticodon loop, which pairs with the mRNA codon during translation, and the amino acid attachment site, where the specific amino acid corresponding to the tRNA is bound.

What is the chemical attraction between the acid group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid can form?

the carboxylic acid group of a amino acid will give of an OH molecule while the amino group of the other will give of an H atom to form ah H2O molecule and while the carboxylic group or the C terminal connect to the amino group of the other giving you CONH as the peptide bond.


Which bond is closest to the n-terminus of the molecule?

The peptide bond closest to the N-terminus of a protein molecule is the bond between the N-terminal amino acid and the second amino acid in the sequence. This bond forms a peptide linkage between the α-amino group of the first amino acid and the α-carboxyl group of the second amino acid.
