The statement that is true is:

The human body uses 20 amino acids to form all types of proteins.

The other statements are incorrect:

  • Amino acids form a polypeptide chain via peptide bonds, not carbon-carbon bonds.
  • Amino acids do need to be assembled in a specific order to create functional proteins.
  • tRNA is attached to specific amino acids (not proteins) and plays a role in translating the genetic code into proteins during protein synthesis.
