Asalam u alaikum .i hope you do remember k lecture me sir said k ye lipid ka ho ga tou jin chezon se lipid sensitive hoga unse ye envelope bhi sensitive hoga or it’s wall is made up of protein so exactly this refer that it’s made of protein and lipid .

i also counted peplomers in it

Ye glycoprotein would not be counted because in question they ask about just viral envelope not spikes ...

Glycoproteins are only the spikes present on the viral envelope. The envelope itself is mainly a lipid membrane with proteins embedded in it. That's why the correct answer is 'Lipids and Proteins', not just 'Glycoproteins.

Okay I got it

Viral envelope is a lipoproteins structure only while glycoproteins are attached on its surface as spikes for attachment and fusion with host cell
AZAAN · 2026-06-14T20:11:57.544Z
so glycoproteins would not be counted?

No glycoproteins are not the part of envelope
