Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the difference in the function of the glycoprotein structures of an HIV virus and the cilia of an animal cell?
A
The glycoprotein structures are used for ATTACHMENT, and the cilia are used to MOVE fluids surrounding the cell.
B
The glycoprotein structures are used to obtain NUTRITION, and the cilia are used to secrete proteins.
C
The glycoproteins structures are used to provide physical SUPPORT for the viral envelope, and the cilia STRENGTHEN the cell membrane.
D
The glycoprotein structures are used for DEFENSE, and the cilia are used for LOCOMOTION.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is the difference in the function of the glycoprotein structures of an HIV virion and the cilia of an animal cell? F The glycoprotein structures are used for attachment, and the cilia are used to move fluids surrounding the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like many other viral envelope glycoproteins the HIV Env consists of two subunits, the surface glycoprotein (SU), which is responsible for binding to receptor molecules, and the transmembrane glycoprotein (TM), which mediates fusion of the viral membrane with the plasma cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoproteins play an essential role in the virus replication cycle by mediating the fusion between viral and cellular membranes during the entry process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycoproteins allow a virus to recognize and bind to host cells, while flagella propel bacteria through water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycoprotein Examples and Functions Glycoproteins function in the structure, reproduction, immune system, hormones, and protection of cells and organisms. Glycoproteins are found on the surface of the lipid bilayer of cell membranes.
