Chapter 11, Problem 32P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The role of carbohydrates based on the fact that all organisms contain lectins needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Lectins are specific type of proteins that recognize the carbohydrates in cells and bind to them.
Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen and atoms. Their main function is to provide energy to an organism.
