A protein is made up of a bunch of Amino Acids.Codons are used as a code for tRNA which bind to them and each tRNA has bound to the other side if it an Amino Acid, So when there tRNAs bind to the codons they all bring Amino acids which get linked together by peptide bonds and form proteins.

What compound is involved in the activation of acyl compounds in fatty acid synthesis?
In fatty acid synthesis, an acyl carrier protein (ACP) activates the acyl compounds.
Carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?
Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids from the cell cytoplasm to the ribosomes during the translation phase of protein synthesis. tRNA molecules have an amino acid at one end, and an anticodon at the opposite end, which is specific for a particular amino acid and pairs with its complementary mRNA codon at the ribosome.
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.
What chemical process creates the proteins?
Proteins are produced in all cells by protein synthesis. It requires the mRNA molecule produced from DNA in nucleus. Once it is transported to cytoplasm, ribosomes and tRNA molecules and enzymes will carry out protein synthesis.
How are amino acids transfered to the ribosome into a growing polypeptide chain?
The ribosome uses tRNA that matches the current codon (triplet) on the mRNA to append an amino acid to the polypeptide chain. This is done for each triplet on the mRNA, while the ribosome moves towards the 3' end of the mRNA.
What codon serves as the start codon for protein synthesis?
AUGMethionine is specified by the codon AUG, which is also known as the start codon. Consequently, methionine is the first amino acid to dock in the ribosome during the synthesis of proteins.
The start codon for protein synthesis is what?
AUGt
The initiation codon for the process of protein synthesis in eukaryotes is?
AUG
Why is it essential that tRNAbinds to both an aminoacid and an mRNA codonduringprotein synthesis?
since mRNA codon signals the beginning of protein synthesis and aminoacids are necessary for reading the codon
This organelle's function is protein synthesis?
Ribosomes are directly involved in protein synthesis
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.
What contains RNA and is involved in protein synthesis?
Ribosomes contain RNA and is involved in protein synthesis. Mitochondria and plastids also contain RNA.
What happens after the ribosome reaches the start codon?
When a ribsome reaches a stop codon, the translation process stops and a protein is released.
What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
AUG is the only codon which codes for methionine and UGG is the only amino acid that codes for Tryptophan. These are the only codons which have only one codon to represent their specific amino acid.
What is the function of the ribosomes in plant cell?
Function is common in every cell.Ribosomes involve in protein synthesis. They involve in the synthesis by providing surface.
What is a messenger Rna code word?
I assume the word you're looking for is "codon".
What are the best nucleotide triplets that best represent a codon?
The best nucleotide triplets that represent a codon are Adenosine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Uracil (A, C, G, and U). These nucleotides form RNA molecules, which are used during protein synthesis to encode the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each triplet of nucleotides, or codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid or a signal to start or stop protein synthesis.
