Both glycoproteins and glycolipids are components of:
Correct answer: D. Biological membrane
- A. Plant cell walls
- B. Algal cell walls
- C. Fungal cell wall
- D. Biological membrane
Explanation
Basic framework of cellular membranes is provided by proteins and lipids, however carbohydrates are conjugated with them to synthesize glycoproteins and glycolipids which act as cell markers and tissue markers.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
