rRNA makes up most of the ribosome
tRNAs drop the amino acids off
Energy in the form of ATP is required
Solution
Answer: None of the statements are false.
There are 3 sites on the ribosome where the tRNA moves through. They are A site (Aminoacyl site), P site (Peptidyl site) and E site (Exit site).
rRNA makes up most of the ribosome. It constitutes the predominant material within the ribosome, which is approximately 60% rRNA and 40% protein by weight.
After the tRNAs drop off the amino acids, they return to the cytoplasm, picks up another of the same amino acid from the pool in the cell and continues to build the polypeptide.
The formation of each peptide bond uses 3 high-energy molecules, one ATP and two GTP.
