Question

When HIV infects a cell, it uses the host’s cell organelles to make more HIV

viruses. Which of the following is TRUE about the cell organelles used by
HIV/AIDS virus?
A)Synthesis of free HIV proteins by ribosomes, membrane bounded
proteins by rough endoplasmic reticulum and modification of
newly synthesized HIV-membrane proteins is done by Golgi
apparatus.
B)All cell organelles including ribosomes, Rough and smooth
endoplasmic reticulum and vesicles are used to synthesize one type
of viral protein.
C) Only ribosomes are used by the virus for protein synthesis.
D)Nucleolus is used by the virus essentially to enhance the rapid
production of ribosomes to ensure more protein synthesis.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the cell organelles used by the HIV virus is that the ribosomes synthesize free viral proteins, the rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes membrane-bound proteins, and the Golgi apparatus modifies these proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

When HIV infects a cell, it repurposes the host's cell organelles for the production of new HIV viruses. The correct statement about the cell organelles used by the HIV/AIDS virus is A) Synthesis of free HIV proteins by ribosomes, membrane bound proteins by rough endoplasmic reticulum and modification of newly synthesized HIV-membrane proteins is done by Golgi apparatus. This answer is supported by the understanding that HIV uses the host's ribosomes to synthesize viral proteins, the rough endoplasmic reticulum for proteins that are bound to membranes, and the Golgi apparatus for modifying these proteins.

HIV contains an RNA genome that is reverse transcribed to make DNA, which is then spliced into the host's DNA. This process utilizes viral enzymes like reverse transcriptase and integrase. HIV's structure includes glycoproteins that allow it to attach to the host's cells, and it encapsulates its genetic material within a lipid bilayer envelope taken from the cell membrane of the host cell.

Answer 2

The answer is B. HIV puts itself into the DNA so it uses the hosts organelles to make more of itself.
