Question
translation of mrna into segments of trna allows which organic molecules to combine to form proteins at the ribosome?
complex carbohydrates
nucleic acids
simple carbohydrates
amino acids
lipids
Proteins are composed of amino acids. During translation, mRNA is decoded at the ribosome, and tRNA brings amino acids. These amino acids combine via peptide bonds to form proteins. Complex carbohydrates are polysaccharides (e.g., starch), nucleic acids are DNA/RNA, simple carbohydrates are monosaccharides (e.g., glucose), and lipids are fats - none of these form proteins like amino acids do.
