As in RNA and DNA Synthesis, the Synthesis of Proteins

Question

As in RNA and DNA synthesis, the synthesis of proteins follows the following steps, except:
A) Activation of monomers
B) Initiation
C) Elongation
D) Termination
E) All of these are involved in all polymer synthesis

Accepted Answer

All of these steps are involved in the synthesis of all types of polymers, including RNA, DNA, and proteins. Activation of monomers involves the attachment of energy molecules (such as ATP) to amino acids in the case of protein synthesis, initiation involves the assembly of ribosomes and selection of the start codon, elongation involves the addition of amino acids to the growing protein chain, and termination involves the recognition of the stop codon and release of the completed protein.
