Answer:
Green algae contain the same carotenoids and chlorophyll a and b as land plants, whereas other algae have different accessory pigments and types of chlorophyll molecules in addition to chlorophyll a. Both green algae and land plants also store carbohydrates as starch.
This is because the GP120 protein
of the HIV virus that forms the ‘knob’ is
essential for the infection of CD4 cells
of the immune system by the virus. The glycoprotein is, therefore, a good
target for vaccines especially since the
molecule is highly conserved because most mutations in the region could be highly deleterious to the virus.
