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!

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.


Molecule that carries an amino acid to the ribosome for incorporation into a protein?

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is the molecule that carries an amino acid to the ribosome for incorporation into a protein. Each tRNA molecule contains a specific anticodon sequence that pairs with the corresponding codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis.


In what direction does the ribosome read mRNA during protein synthesis?

The ribosome reads mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction during protein synthesis.


What molecule caries an amino acid to the site of protein synthesis?

Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries an amino acid to the site of protein synthesis on the ribosome. Each tRNA molecule has a specific amino acid attached to it and matches with the corresponding codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis.

This illustration sHow is the process of making a protein molecule The site of protein synthesis in a cell is the?

I do not see any illustration, but proteins are synthesized in the cytosol on the endoplasmic reticulum. mRNA is transferred from the nucleus to ribosomal subunits, then translated into a protein structure as tRNA brings in the appropriate amino acids for each 3 nuleotide codon. The protein is released and undergoes post translational modification.


How did the P site of the ribosome get its name?

The P site of the ribosome stands for peptidyl-tRNA site, as it is where the peptidyl-tRNA molecule is positioned during protein synthesis. The naming convention for ribosome sites comes from the type of molecule that occupies each site during translation.
