Hello everyone. Let's look at our next question. It says true or false. An envelope is a component found in both viruses and cells. A true or be false. Well, this is true. Both have envelopes although they refer to very different structures. So we can recall that some viruses though not all have an envelope, which is a lipid layer around the outside of their protein coat or cap. And those lipids are derived from materials from the host cell membrane. But not all viruses have envelopes only what are called enveloped viruses. Meanwhile, in cells, the envelope is not a structure around the outside of the cell, but within the cell, you have an envelope around the nucleus and it is a double lipid bilayer that controls movement between the nucleus and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. And that's known as the nuclear envelope. But again, that's an internal structure rather than in viruses where it surrounds the outside of the virus only in certain types. But they do both have something called an envelope. So the answer to our question is choice. A true. See you in the next video
