A combination of carbohydrates and proteins glycproteins are receptor molecules that are used as signals to get messages from one cell to another: they detect the surroundings of the cell (i.e hormones, sugar signals etc)
According to Answers.com:
Any of a group of conjugated proteins having a carbohydrate as the nonprotein component.

What are some of the glycoprotein's functions?
Glycoproteins are proteins that are released in the blood. Glycoproteins have an important role in the immune system and cell recognition in mammals.
In which structure are glycoproteins assembled for extracellular use?
Some glycoproteins are modified in the endoplasmic reticulum, but those assembled for extracellular export are modified in the Golgi apparatus.
What are some analogies for mitochondria?
the "power house" of the cell
Why does glycoproteins reacts positively with Molisch reagent?
Glycoproteins give positive results for Molisch's test. This answer is true because Molisch test was a test for sugar.
The molecule that make the cell surface fuzzy sticky and sugar-rich are the?
glycoproteins

What are some analogies for the plot of a story?
You'll have to come up with your own analogies. Writing a bunch of random analogies down on the internet isn't going to help your story at all. You have to have analogies that actually have something to do with your own characters, setting, and plot.
Where are glycoproteins located?
Glycoproteins are found on the outside of the cell membrane
Do you do analogies?
Yes, we do analogies.
What are some analogies for mitochondria?
the "power house" of the cell
Not all analogies are arguments by analogy Other analogies include?
Explanatory analogies Rhetorical analogies Both A and B
Proteins with sugar molecules attached to them are called what?
glycoproteins
What is the function of the glycoproteins on the outside of the virus?
Glycoproteins are proteins that contain sugars and polipetides.
Why does glycoproteins reacts positively with Molisch reagent?
Glycoproteins give positive results for Molisch's test. This answer is true because Molisch test was a test for sugar.
The molecule that make the cell surface fuzzy sticky and sugar-rich are the?
glycoproteins
