Multiple Choice

Which of these answers is a major difference between the release of enveloped viruses and the release of non-enveloped viruses?

Enveloped viruses assemble after release while non-enveloped viruses assemble before release.

Enveloped viruses when released cause the host cell to burst while non-enveloped viruses do not.

Enveloped viruses do not kill the host cell upon release, while non-enveloped viruses trigger host cell apoptosis.

All of the above answers are major differences between the release of enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the basic structure of viruses: Enveloped viruses have a lipid membrane surrounding their capsid, while non-enveloped viruses lack this lipid layer.

Learn about the release mechanisms: Enveloped viruses typically exit the host cell by budding, which allows the host cell to remain intact. Non-enveloped viruses often cause cell lysis, leading to the destruction of the host cell.

Analyze the options given: Consider how each option describes the process of viral release and its impact on the host cell.

Evaluate the statement about apoptosis: Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death. Non-enveloped viruses can trigger this process, leading to host cell death, while enveloped viruses generally do not.

Determine the correct answer by comparing the options: The key difference is that enveloped viruses do not kill the host cell upon release, whereas non-enveloped viruses can trigger apoptosis, leading to cell death.
