Where would you expect to find proteoglycan molecules?
The ground substance of the extracellular matrix.
What is an aggrecan?
An aggrecan is a variety of proteoglycan, containing chondroitin sulphate - a major component of cartilage.
Dead skin cells are shed in thick sheets because the strong links are held together by?
a thin layer of proteoglycan reinforced by intermediate filaments.

What is the difference between a glycoprotein and a proteoglycan?
Actually, proteoglycans are conjugates of proteins and carbohydrates in which there is more carb and less protein. In fact, proteoglycans have GAGs (heteropolysaccharides) as carbohydrates. Glycoproteins, on the other hand, have more protein and less carb. Here, carbohydrates are in the form of Oligosaccharides.
What is the function of proteoglycans?
That depends a bit on what your proteoglycans are and where in the body they are. I'm currently working the musculoskeletal field. I'm pretty sure I've seen it suggested that proteoglycans can act as lubricators and allow fibrils within organs such as tendons to slip past each other smoothly. I also know that the large proteoglycan aggrecan is a vital component of hyaline cartilage. It contains lots of negatively charged polysaccharide side chains which attract and retain water. This contributes to cartilage's ability to resist compressive forces.

What is the differences between proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans?
Polysaccharides are of two main types. 1. Homopolysaccharides 2. Heteropolysaccharides Heteropolysaccharides are further classified as: a) GlycosAminoGlycans (GAGs) b) Glycoconjugates c) Mucilages Proteoglycan is a type of glycoconjugates whereas heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate and hyaluronic acid are examples of GAGs.

What is the function of a tendon and how does its structure hint at this function?
A Tendon is basically a connective tissue that is used to connect the muscle to the bone. It is capable of withstanding tension. They are composed of parallel arrays consisting of collagen fibers which are closely packed together. These are held together with other proteins like proteoglycan, decorin and, in compressed regions of tendon, aggrecan.
