Question

I'm a bit confused about this question 

will someone help me understand the concept

How many moles of ATP and GTP are required to synthesize a mole of a polypeptide 100 amino acids long? Hint: remember you need nucleotide triphosphates for both charging the tRNAS and for direct synthesis of polypeptide chains by the ribosome. O 100 GTP for the activating the amino acids and 200 ATP for initiation through release by the ribosome 100 ATP for the activating the amino acids and 200 GTP for initiation through release by the ribosome 200 ATP for the activating the amino acids and 100 GTP for initiation through release by the ribosome O 200 GTP for the activating the amino acids and 100 ATP for initiation through release by the ribosome
