Question

Which of the following is/are required for translation to occur?

Select one:
a. tRNA
b. various enzymes and protein "factors"
C. sources of energy, including ATP
O d. ribosomes
e.
all of these are needed

Answer 1

Translation requires tRNA, enzymes and protein factors, energy sources, and ribosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation is the process by which proteins are synthesized in a cell.

For translation to occur, several components are required:

1. tRNA: Transfer RNA molecules carry amino acids to the ribosomes, where protein synthesis takes place.
2. Various enzymes and protein factors: These molecules aid in the proper assembly and functioning of the ribosomes during translation.
3. Sources of energy, including ATP: Energy is required to form the peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis.
4. Ribosomes: Ribosomes serve as the site of protein synthesis and bring together the tRNA molecules and messenger RNA (mRNA) to catalyze protein synthesis.

Therefore, all of these components are needed for translation to occur.
