Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The glycoprotein contains mannose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and neuraminic acid as the major carbohydrate components, whereas N-acetyl-galactosamine and fucose are present in lesser amounts. The glycoprotein contains approximately 9-10% carbohydrate regardless of the host cell in which it is synthesized.
Detailed explanation-2: -A glycoprotein is a compound containing carbohydrate (or glycan) covalently linked to protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -Xylose is classified as a monosaccharide of the aldopentose type, which means that it contains five carbon atoms and includes an aldehyde functional group. It is derived from hemicellulose, one of the main constituents of biomass.
