23
Q

Roles of Polysaccharides

A

Glucose Storage, structure, protein diversity

24
Q

Glucose Storage

A

alpha linkages

25
Q

Structural Role

A

Beta linkages

eg- Cellulose, chitin

26
Q

Protein Diversity role

A

Glycoproteins, mucins, proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans

27
Q

Glycoproteins

A

protein>sugar
cell adhesion for mem proteins
cell signaling on soluble proteins

28
Q

glycosaminoglycans

A

sugar>protein
repeating disaccharide units
sugar component of proteoglycans
eg- cartilage, blood clotting, chitin

29
Q

Mucins

A

sugar>protein

lubrication = protection + hydration
