Q

Translation

step 1

A

mRNA attaches to a ribosome and tRNA molecules carry amino acids to it
(ATP provides the energy required for the bond between the amino acid and tRNA molecule to form)

Translation

step 5

A

process continues to produce a polypeptide chain until a stop codon is reached
then the polypeptide moves away from the ribosome
