Hey there,

During protein synthesis mRNA passes through the ribosomes while tRNA match the codons to the right ones to create amino acids.

Hope I helped :)

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes. These complex structures, which physically move along an mRNA molecule, catalyze the assembly of amino acids into protein chains. They also bind tRNAs and various accessory molecules necessary for protein synthesis.
