  • A. They are conjugated molecules of carbohydrates
  • B. Both have role in the extracellular matrix of animals and bacterial cell wall
  • C. They are components of biological membranes.
  • D. Both are produced and screted by endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation: Addition of sugars to protiens and lipids occurs in the golgi body, not in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Correct answer: Both are produced and screted by endoplasmic reticulum
  • A. They are conjugated molecules of carbohydrates

  • C. They are components of biological membranes
  • D. Both are produced and seceted by the endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation: Proteins and lipids themselves are formed in rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum respectively, but their conjugation with carbohydrates…

Correct answer: Both are produced and seceted by the endoplasmic reticulum
  • A. Starch
  • B. Haemoglobin
  • C. Lecithin

Correct answer: All of these options
  • A. These are spherical bodies surrounded by a single membrane
  • B. They are responsible for autolysis of the cells
  • C. They originate from the Golgi apparatus
