Amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins on a ribosome are ________________

Amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins on a ribosome are ________________ Correct Answer L-amino acids

]In most organisms including humans, the L amino acid is used to make up proteins. In some microorganisms D types are used. The conversion of D to L can take place in our body using an enzyme called racemase.
