Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do tRNA bring to the ribosome?
A
glucose
B
fatty acids
C
nucleotides
D
amino acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each tRNA molecule has two distinct ends, one of which binds to a specific amino acid, and the other which binds to the corresponding mRNA codon. During translation, these tRNAs carry amino acids to the ribosome and join with their complementary codons.

Detailed explanation-2: -tRNA Synthetases Transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetases are enzymes that attach a specific amino acid to its corresponding tRNA for protein biosynthesis at the ribosome. Organisms use up to 20 tRNA synthetases to generate aminoacyl-tRNAs, one for each of the 20 standard amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transfer RNA (tRNA) Transfer RNA serves as a link (or adaptor) between the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and the growing chain of amino acids that make up a protein.
