Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GTP (guanosine triphosphate) is the principal energy source for protein synthesis, CTP (cytidine triphosphate) is the principal energy source for phospholipid synthesis, and UTP (uridine triphosphate) is the principal energy source for polysaccharide synthesis. Therefore, option B contains the correct order of nucleotides for each synthesis process.
