Answer:
Explanation:
ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate and GTP is Guanosine Triphosphate, in which ATP is used to carry energy to all energy-requiring chemical reactions in almost all cells. GTP can occasionally be used to carry energy, but it is more often used as a signaling molecule, as in G-linked proteins.
One mole of ATP can uptake one mole of amino acid. Two hundred molecules of ATP are converted into AMP + 400 Pi to activate the 200 amino acids, which is equivalent to 400 molecules of ATP. One molecule of GTP is required for initiation, and 398 molecules of GTP are needed to form 199 peptide bonds.
