All of the following statements about protein biosynthesis in eukaryotes are correct EXCEPT:
A) It occurs at the ribosomes.
B) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are required.
C) Cycloheximide is an inhibitor.
D) A replication fork is required.
E) Energy is supplied by guanosine triphosphate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A replication fork is not required for protein biosynthesis in eukaryotes. Rather, protein biosynthesis occurs at the ribosomes and requires aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases for amino acid attachment, can be inhibited by cycloheximide, and requires energy supplied by guanosine triphosphate (GTP).
