Question

question 13 (2.5 points)
a protein that is linked to a carbohydrate is known as a

glycoprotein

lipoprotein

fibrous proteins

denatured proteins

prions

Explanation:

• Glycoproteins are proteins that have carbohydrate groups attached to the polypeptide chain. This attachment occurs through a process called glycosylation.
• Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins.
• Fibrous proteins have a structural role and are elongated in shape.
• Denatured proteins have lost their native three - dimensional structure (due to factors like heat, pH change etc.) but the carbohydrate - protein linkage is not the characteristic of denatured proteins.
• Prions are misfolded proteins that can transmit their misfolded shape onto normal variants of the same protein.

Answer:

glycoprotein
