Some simple sugars may be modified in the Golgi apparatus, synthesizing more complex polysaccharides that are attached to proteins forming what compounds, used for mucus secretion?
Correct Answer
glycoproteins, mucopolysaccharides
Explanation
In the Golgi apparatus, simple sugars are modified and attached to proteins to form glycoproteins and mucopolysaccharides. These compounds are used for mucus secretion and other functions. Glycoproteins are also important components of cell surface recognition molecules.
