The statement "Glycogen is a carbohydrate, and insulin is a protein" correctly identifies the types of macromolecules that are described. Thus, the correct option is D.

<h3>What is the main function of Glycogen?</h3>

The main function of glycogen is to control the release of glucose into the blood when the condition is glucose deficient. It is the liver that directly contributes to the release of glucose into the blood.

Insulin is a hormone that is made up of amino acids, hence it is a small protein that contains almost all structural features of proteins.

Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that can easily and rapidly coverts the form of glucose into energy.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is D.

Lysozyme is frequently found in such extracellular bodily fluids
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Lysozyme in the body fluid protects us from bacterial infection by damaging the cell wall of bacteria which ultimately kills the bacteria.

The bacterial cell wall is made up of NAG and NAM units which is joined by β (1-4) glycosidic bond. Lysozyme attacks on this bond and breaks it causing the damage in the cell wall of bacteria which leads to the death of bacteria.

Archaeal cell wall do not contain β (1-4) glycosidic linkage, it contains β(1-3) glycosidic linkage in its cell wall between NAT and NAG unit and lysozyme do not able to break β(1-3) glycosidic linkage between them so lysozyme do not cause any harm to the archaeal invaders.
