Biologists prove critical step in membrane fusion

Link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417154344.htm

Summary: This article talks about membrane fusion. It also talks about how membrane fusion works and how it can be done. It also talks about how membrane works and how it fuses and affects cells.

Questions: Which components of the cell membrane are being discussed in the article?
What is the purpose of the process or component in the article. It is to inform you about membrane fusion and how it works and affects the cell.
List three things you learned from the article in your own words. 1. I learned about membrane fusion and how it works. 2. I learned how membrane fusion can affect a cell. 3. I learned about some of the dideases that are cause by membrane fusion.
What impact would the absence of this organelle/process have on the cell? It causes the cell to mutate and spread very quickly. Membrane fusion is also how HIV is spreaded, because the cell mutates and spreads to othr parts of the body quick.
