Which of the following is not an activated monomer?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amino acids are not considered activated monomers in the context of polymerization reactions in cells. Activated monomers like adenosine triphosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, aminoacyl tRNA, and uracil triphosphate are involved in energy transfer, metabolic pathways, protein synthesis, and nucleic acid synthesis, respectively, often carrying high-energy bonds or specific reactive groups that facilitate polymerization. Amino acids, however, require activation (e.g., attachment to tRNA as aminoacyl tRNAs) before they can be polymerized into proteins.
