Question

7. Complete the following sentences. Glycoproteins are proteins containing covalently bound The oligosaccharide chains of most glycoproteins are either O-linked to- or residues or N-linked to residues and exhibit great variety in structure and sugar composition. 8. Steroids are cholesterol-derived, polycyclic, lipid-soluble molecules that are very insoluble in water. Reaction with glucuronic acid makes a steroid much more water soluble and enables transport through the blood. What structural feature of the glucuronic acid increases the solubility? 9. Ripe fruit has a high carbohydrate content and tastes sweet. In contrast, grain, which also has a high carbohydrate content, does not elicit a sweet sensation when consumed. Suggest a reason for this disparity from the plant's point of view. 10. Cellulose is virtually insoluble in water, whereas amylose is relatively soluble. Compare the structures of these two molecules and explain this disparity in solubility.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

7)

glycoproteins are proteins containing covalently bound to Carbohydrate

the oligosaccharide chains of most glycoproteins are either O-linked to Serine or threonine residues and N-linked to asparagine
