What do glycoproteins have that simple proteins do not?

Glycoproteins have a carbohydrate, glycogen, attached to them. They face the outside of a cell, and are vital for certain functions, such as cell to cell recognition.


The ER sends proteins and lipids it makes to what to be modified?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sends proteins and lipids in membranous vesicles to the Golgi body (also known as the Golgi apparatus or the Golgi complex). The Golgi body looks like a stack of pita breads; it resembles the ER. There, the membranous vesicles containing proteins or lipids will fuse with one side of the Golgi body known as the cis face.Inside the Golgi body, proteins and lipids will have carbohydrate molecules added to them, forming glycoproteins (proteins with carbohydrates attached) and glycolipids (lipids with carbohydrates attached). After being modified, the glycoproteins and glycolipids will exit the Golgi body in membranous vesicles through the trans face (the side opposite the cisface).

What is the role of Glycoproteins and glycolipids?

Glycoproteins are the proteins covalently attached to carbohydrates such as glucose, galactose, lactose, fructose, sialic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, etc. Glycolipids are carbohydrate-attached lipids. Their role is to provide energy and also serve as markers for cellular recognition.The antigens which determine blood types belong to glycoproteins and glycolipids


Why are most proteins destined for secretion from the cell glycoproteins?

because most proteins destined for secretion are glycoproteins (i.e. they are proteins with carbohydrates added to them); the carbohydrate is attached to the protein by enzymes.
