You incubate liposomes with a series of purified proteins normally found in the coats of cell transport vesicles.After adding one of them to the liposome mixture,budding of vesicles from the liposomes began.What does this mean?
A)Liposomes cause the protein to denature.
B)The protein is involved in the initiation of vesicle formation.
C)The protein is involved in liposome denaturation.
D)The protein triggers protein synthesis.
E)The protein causes the entry of water into the liposomes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that budding of vesicles from the liposomes began after adding one of the purified proteins suggests that this protein is involved in the initiation of vesicle formation, which is likely a normal function of the protein in cell transport vesicles. Therefore, option B is the most plausible choice. The other options (A, C, D, and E) are unlikely explanations because they do not align with the observed result.
