Textbook Question
Chapter 20.4, Problem 20.3CIAP
All cells in your body contain glycoproteins (proteins with short oligosaccharide chains attached. Chapter 18) as part of the cell membrane. The carbohydrate part of a glycoprotein extends out of the membrane into the intercellular fluid and is the signaling part of the molecule. Red blood cells have specific glycoproteins that we use to specify the different blood types. Which sugars and sugar derivatives are found in all blood types? (Hint: Look closely at the sugar chains attached to each red blood cell in the diagram.)

The structure below shows that of a trisaccharide that is composed of (going from top left to bottom right) galactose, glucose, and fructose.
More specifically, the component monosaccharides are [D-galactose, L-galactose], [D-glucose, L-glucose], and [D-fructose, L-fructose]Â Â .
The structure below shows that of a trisaccharide that is composed of (going from top left to bottom right) galactose, glucose, and fructose.
Â
The galactose residue is linked to glucose via a/an [alpha linkage, beta linkage]  and the glucose residue is linked to fructose via a/an [alpha linkage, beta linkage].
