Answer 22

three

Question 23

tRNA + amino acid

Answer 23

aminoacyltransfer RNA

Question 24

aminoacyltransfer RNA is activating tRNA to bring

Answer 24

amino acids

Question 25

Amino acids are activated and attached to their corresponding tRNAs by highly specific enzymes known as

Answer 25

aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

Question 26

how aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases works

Answer 26

amino acids react with ATP they will form AMP - aminoacyladenosinemonophosphate and pyrophosphate there will be cleavage liberating 2 inorganic phosphate
