Protein Synthesis

The main function of tRNA is to...

• carry a message that, when translated, forms proteins

• form a portion of ribosomes

• string together complementary RNA and DNA strands

• bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes

Which phrase best describes translation?

• converts mRNA into a polypeptide

• catalyzes bonds between amino acids

• produces RNA from DNA molecules

• recycles tRNA molecules for reuse

When these bond together, they form a protein

• Amino Acids

• Peptide Bonds

• Ribose

• Nucleotides
