In an HIV-Infected Cell Producing HIV Virus Particles, the Viral

question 58

Multiple Choice

In an HIV-infected cell producing HIV virus particles, the viral glycoprotein is expressed on the plasma membrane. How do the viral glycoproteins get to the plasma membrane?

• A) They are synthesized on ribosomes on the plasma membrane.
• B) They are synthesized by ribosomes in the rough ER, and arrive at the plasma membrane in the membrane of secretory vesicles.
• C) They are synthesized on free cytoplasmic ribosomes, and then inserted into the plasma membrane.
• D) They are synthesized by ribosomes in the rough ER, secreted from the cell, and inserted into the plasma membrane from the outside.
• E) They are synthesized by ribosomes on the HIV viral membrane, which fuses with the plasma membrane from inside the cell.

Definitions:

Resistance

The opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms, affecting how much current flows through a circuit.

Inductor

An inductor is a passive electronic component that stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it, used in various filtering, tuning, and energy storage applications.

Lenz's Law

A principle in electromagnetism stating that induced currents will flow in a direction that opposes the change causing them.

Polarity

The characteristic of having two opposed attributes or poles, commonly used in reference to the direction of electrical current or magnetism.
