Explanation:

Transfer RNA (t - RNA) is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis. Each t - RNA molecule has an anticodon that pairs with a codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA), and it carries the corresponding amino acid. Fatty acids are related to lipid metabolism, sugars are energy sources or components of carbohydrates, and nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), not directly delivered by t - RNA for protein synthesis.

Answer:

amino acids
