Problem:Deoxidization is a method used in metallurgy to remove the oxygen content during steel manufacturing. In contrast, antioxidants are used for stabilization, such as in the storage of food. Deoxidation is important in the steelmaking process as oxygen is often detrimental to the quality of steel produced. Deoxidization is mainly achieved by adding a separate chemical species to neutralize the effects of oxygen or by directly removing the oxygen.

Answer this question: how entrapped bubbles of gases are removed from steel?
Solution:OK... To answer the above question, the relevant sentence is: Deoxidization is mainly achieved by adding a separate chemical species to neutralize the effects of oxygen or by directly removing the oxygen.

Student A:Some viruses (e.g. HIV and many animal viruses) have viral envelopes covering their protective protein capsids. The envelopes are typically derived from portions of the host cell membranes (phospholipids and proteins), but include some viral glycoproteins. They may help viruses avoid the host immune system. Glycoproteins on the surface of the envelope serve to identify and bind to receptor sites on the host's membrane. The viral envelope then fuses with the host's membrane, allowing the capsid and viral genome to enter and infect the host.

Based on this passage, where does the envelope surrounding animal viruses originate?
Student B:OK... To answer the question, consider the following: The envelopes are typically derived from portions of the host cell membranes (phospholipids and proteins), but include some viral glycoproteins.
typically derived from portions of the host cell membranes ( phospholipids and proteins ).
