Question

This high energy molecule provides the energy to drive translation:

Group of answer choices

GTP

CTP

UTP

ATP

Answer 1

Translation is also referred to as Protein synthesis. This occurs when the RNA is read and processed and a specific RNA - tRNA - brings the correct, read sequence of the RNA to amino acids. From here, a specific RNA - rRNA - helps form a bond that link amino acids together forming a chain of polypeptides.

To form these long chain of peptides, the energy is utilized is GTP.
