Amino acids are attached to one end of the transfer RNA molecules and the other end of the tRNA moleule attaches to the a-site of the ribosome.

Does tRNA deliver amino acids to ribosome?

n aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS) is an enzyme that catalyzes the esterification of a specific amino acid or its precursor to one of all its compatible cognate tRNAs to form an aminoacyl-tRNA (wikipedia)


During protein synthesis l-amino acid binds to t-rna through which?

We might need more information to answer this question. An amino acid will bind to the carboxyl group on the 3'-OH of the tRNA with an ester bond. The tRNA then becomes "charged" and can now begin translation at the ribosome.


What is the role of tRNA in translation?

tRNA is used to carry the 20 different amino acids dissolved in the cytoplasm to the ribosomes to help build the polypeptide chain for proteins to be synthesized. Each tRNA molecule attaches to one type of amino acid.


What identifies the specific amino acid for tRNA?

The messenger RNA strand. When the tRNA inserts itself between the two portions of the ribosome attached to the mRNA strand, the specific tRNA depends on the 3 nitrogen bases on the mRNA (the codon) that are about to be read. The tRNA that arrives has a corresponding "anticodon" to go with the codon on the mRNA. For example, if the nitrogen bases on the mRNA strand are adenine, guanine, and cytocine the tRNA will have an anticodon of uracil, cytocine and guanine. The tRNA that has the corresponding anticodon to the codon on the mRNA will bring with it a specific amino acid but it is the codon on the mRNA that ultimately decided which amino acid is next in line.


Which type of Rna can only bond to one specific type of amino acid?

Transfer RNA (tRNA) can only bond to one specific type of amino acid through its anticodon region. This interaction ensures that the correct amino acid is delivered to the growing polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.

Where is an amino acid attached to a tRNA molecule?

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


What are the differences between a charged tRNA and an uncharged tRNA?

Well, charged tRNA means it has an amino acid attached. And a charged tRNA can read the codon of mRNA during translation.the charged tRNA mean that the correct amino acid is attached. uncharged means no amino acid is attached. mischarged means the wrong amino acid is attached. if the wrong amino acid is attached then there may be low levels which can cause misfolded proteins.


What are the differences between charged tRNA and uncharged tRNA?

Charged tRNA has an amino acid attached to it, ready for protein synthesis, while uncharged tRNA does not have an amino acid attached. Charged tRNA binds to the appropriate codon on the mRNA during translation, while uncharged tRNA cannot participate in translation.


What amino acid is attached to the tRNA with the anti-codon 5'-GUC-3'?

The amino acid attached to the tRNA with the anti-codon 5'-GUC-3' is valine.


How many amino acids are attached to a single transfer rna-?

A single transfer RNA molecule typically carries one specific amino acid attached to it. This amino acid is linked to the tRNA through an ester bond between the carboxyl group of the amino acid and the 3' end of the tRNA.


How is trna charged?

tRNA is "charged" through a process called aminoacylation, where an amino acid is attached to its corresponding tRNA molecule by an enzyme called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. This charging process is essential for tRNA to deliver the correct amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis.


How many amnio acids are attached to a single transfer rna?

A single transfer RNA (tRNA) carries a single amino acid.


During translation the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide depends on what?

D. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached. __________ On my packet it says answer C. Codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA but it's all the same thing XD


What is attached to the tRNA molecule?

A specific amino acid is attached to the tRNA molecule, forming an aminoacyl-tRNA. This attachment occurs at the 3’ end of the tRNA molecule through an ester bond and is catalyzed by the enzyme aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. The amino acid linked to the tRNA is determined by the tRNA's anticodon sequence and is essential for protein synthesis during translation.


What is the type of amino acid during transcription that is added to the growing poly potide dependson is?

codon on the mrna and the anticodon trna to which the amino acid is attached


Amino acid binds to which part of the trna?

Amino acids bind to the 3' end of tRNA molecules through a specific site known as the CCA sequence, which is found at the 3' terminus of all tRNA molecules. This attachment is facilitated by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, which ensure that the correct amino acid is attached to the corresponding tRNA molecule.


What anti codon bonds with the RNa codon CCa?

The tRNA anticodon is GGU, which codes for the amino acid proline (pro).
