Question
Chapter 11, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The hypothesis to test a trisaccharide unit of a cell-surface glycoprotein is suggested to play a serious function in facilitating cell-cell adhesion in a specific tissue should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. These are comprised of hydrogen and oxygen in a similar ratio as in water (2:1). They are usually broken down to release the energy in the animal body. These are of three types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
