Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: They are tolerant to antibodies
Concept:

The lipid envelope of a virus dictates its stability in the environment and its interaction with the host immune system.

Solution:

  • Enveloped viruses are generally fragile outside a host because their lipid envelope is susceptible to heat, detergents, and desiccation.
  • They are NOT tolerant to antibodies. The host immune system easily targets surface proteins (spikes) on the envelope, neutralizing the virus.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Short survival, sensitive to sunlight, derived from host: These are all true characteristic facts regarding enveloped viruses.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
