Protein synthesis? explain how it works please?

mRNA travels to cytoplasm, where ribosomes are used as a sort of "workbench" for synthesis. The mRNA is read by the attached ribosomal subunits, and tRNA transfers the amino acid corresponding to the mRNA codon to a polypeptide chain. There is a tRNA specific to each kind of amino acid. Once a stop codon is read by the ribosome, the full protein has been made and is cleaved off.
