Multiple Choice

The standard free energy change for the following reaction is about zero.
Amino acid + ATP + tRNA → aminoacyl-tRNA + AMP + PP_i
The driving force for this reaction in the cell is

A) the relatively low concentrations of the reactants
B) the subsequent reaction of peptide bond formation, which is energetically favorable
C) the subsequent hydrolysis of pyrophosphate, which releases energy
D) the increased resonance stability of the acyl group on aminoacyl-tRNA
