Back

The process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What role do ribosomes play in protein synthesis?

Back

They facilitate the translation of mRNA into amino acids.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the mRNA codons.
