The intracellular processing that takes place for a typical glycoprotein, which isdestined for extracellular secretion.

Introduction:

A glycoprotein is formed as the result of the glycosylation of a newly-formed protein. In eukaryotes, manytypes of proteins undergo glycosylation for structural and informational roles. Glycosylation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum, where N-linked oligosaccharides are attached to the protein.

QUESTION NO. 1L-Carnitine is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in the kidneys and then transported to other tissues. It is most concentrated in tissues that use fatty acids as their primary fuel, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this regard, L-carnitine plays an important role in energy production by conjugating to fatty acids for transport from the cytosol into the mitochondria. L-carnitine shuttle is an example of  A. ion driven active transport B. facilitated diffusion C. simple diffusion D. ATP driven active transportE. symport F. antiportQUESTION NO.2 Statements: (1) Glucose is both a hexose and a aldose. (2) There can never be more than three enantiomers for a molecule.
