answer to Question 6 C. T-lymphocytes attack the HIV virus and
absorb the virus in an effort to destroy it
No. T-lymphocytes do not
attack HIV, though other immune system cells do attack
T-lymphocytes infected with HIV. T-lymphocytes have
receptors on their surface which bond with the HIV virus.
Once the receptors have bonded to the virus, the viral
and cell membranes fuse together allowing the virus into
the cell. So the correct answer is B.
