Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following correctly defines the job of the ribosome?
A
digestive system
B
assembly of many proteins.
C
transport of lipids around the cell
D
makes protein using amino acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids, which grow into long chains that fold to form proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ribosome is universally responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence. Ribosomes use cellular accessory proteins, soluble transfer RNAs, and metabolic energy to accomplish the initiation, elongation, and termination of peptide synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the mRNA passes through the ribosome, another type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA) carries a protein building block called an amino acid to the ribosome. The tRNA carrying the amino acid binds to a matching sequence in the mRNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Amino acids are brought to the ribosome by transfer RNA (tRNA).

Detailed explanation-5: -The ribosome is responsible for translating encoded messages from messenger RNA molecules to synthesize proteins from amino acids. The ribosome translates each codon, or set of three nucleotides, of the mRNA template and matches it with the appropriate amino acid in a process called translation.
