What is the primary role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?
A
To catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids
B
To replicate DNA during cell division
C
To transport amino acids to the site of protein synthesis
D
To transcribe DNA into mRNA
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of protein synthesis, which involves two main stages: transcription and translation.
Recognize that ribosomes are cellular structures where translation occurs, the second stage of protein synthesis.
Identify the role of ribosomes in translation: they facilitate the decoding of mRNA into a polypeptide chain.
Know that ribosomes catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids, linking them together to form proteins.
Eliminate the incorrect options by understanding that ribosomes do not replicate DNA, transport amino acids, or transcribe DNA into mRNA.
