You set up an experiment with yeast grown on lots of food (glucose) vs. very little glucose. Would you expect to see differences in the amount and make-up of tRNA between the two groups?

yes

Explanation:

The RNA, is composed by the carbohydrate called ribose, that is not glucose but it is made based of the glucose.

The pentose phosphate path, is a metabolic path in which is closely related with glucolisis, the metabolic path in which glucose is turned into energy in human body.

If there is a living thing in which the environment is poor in glucose, it can produce some RNA, but not the necessary to produce the proteins that the cell need.
