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
