What type of RNA acts like a delivery truck, delivers amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis, and then leaves empty again, to go collect another amino acid?

This type of RNA molecule that fits the descriptive analogy used to state its function would be tRNA or transfer RNA.

Answer:

Transfer ribonucleic acid is a type of molecule which helps to decode the messenger mRNA sequence into protein.

It functions at specific places in the ribosome during the time of translation. Translation is the process by which the protein is made by the help of mRNA.

Hence, the tRNA acts as the truck delivery which delvers the amino acid to the ribosome for the protein synthesis.
