Amino acids do not need to be assembles in a particular order.

tRNA is attached to specific proteins in the cell's cytoplasm.
tRNA is attached to specific proteins in the cell's cytoplasm.

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

Answer 1

The true statement is:

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

The other statements are not accurate:

1. Amino acids form a polypeptide chain via peptide bonds, not carbon-carbon bonds.
2. Amino acids must be assembled in a specific order to create functional proteins, as the sequence determines the protein's structure and function.
3. tRNA (transfer RNA) does not attach to specific proteins; instead, it carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, where it matches the amino acid to the corresponding codon on the mRNA.
