Question 24 of 33

Explanation

Question 25 of 33

1

Why are 3 glucose added to the sugar complex in the golgi?

Select one of the following:

  • So they can be removed as markers for protein folding and transport

  • So the Golgi knows they're bound for the membrane

  • So the Golgi can degrade the protein as faulty

Explanation

Question 26 of 33

1

Why is it called High-Mannose Biantennary N-Glycosylation?

Select one of the following:

  • Because one of the three branches is removed, giving two 'antenna'

  • Because another branch is formed off the first one, giving two 'antenna'

  • Because proteins with this type of glycosylation act as receptor proteins with two antenna

Explanation

Question 27 of 33

1

Once the Biantennary complex has been formed, what happens next?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Mannose is removed

  • Addition of N-acetyl neuraminic acids

  • Addition of glucose

  • Addition of a fucose to the GlcNac bound to the amino acid

Explanation

Question 28 of 33

1

Why the complicated process of adding and removing sugars?

Select one of the following:

  • It adds a date stamp to the cell- over time the NeuAc's fall off, which signals the protein for degredation

  • It adds a transport signal- depending on what is added or removed, proteins are directed to different areas by carrier proteins

  • It's quality control- the contortions required to add and remove all the sugars mean that the protein has folded properly

Explanation

Question 29 of 33

1

The HIV virus can use glycosylation to hide from the immune system

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 30 of 33

1

Why is N-linked glycosylation potentially dangerous?

Select one of the following:

  • Because the immune system is programmed to ignore it, viral coat proteins can use it to hide the virus

  • Because NeuAc's can be toxic in high concentrations

  • Because the removal of mannose can cause the protein to misfold

Explanation

Question 31 of 33

1
