Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anions are negatively charged ions that are not directly involved in protein synthesis. The other choices are all required for protein synthesis: tRNAs serve as carriers of specific amino acids to the ribosome, mRNA provides the template for the sequence of amino acids to be linked together, ribosomes organize and catalyze the process of joining amino acids, and GTP provides the energy required for various steps in the process.
