Which of the following is a conjugated molecule?
Correct answer: C. Glycoproteins
- A. Protein
- B. Lipid
- C. Glycoproteins
- D. Vitamins
Explanation
Glycoproteins are proteins that have carbohydrate chains (glycans) attached to them. These carbohydrate chains can have various functions, such as aiding in protein folding, cell recognition, and cell signaling. Glycoproteins are examples of conjugated molecules.

About Conjugated Molecules
Conjugated molecules contain a non-protein component attached to a protein portion, giving the molecule properties that a simple protein lacks. The content includes glycoproteins, lipoproteins, phosphoproteins, nucleoproteins, chromoproteins and metalloproteins, with attention to their prosthetic groups and roles in transport, protection, catalysis and cellular structure.
