<span>Both are called accessory organs, meaning they work together with the GI tract to break down food. The liver is responsible for producing a green fluid called bile that breaks down fats absorbed by the body. They are responsible for breaking down nutrients and storing vitamins and minerals that are absorbed from food. The pancreas is responsible for producing mixes of enzymes that are called pancreatic juice. This juice neutralizes acidic chyme that enters the small intestines. The pancreatic juice is responsible for helping the digestive system to digest proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. </span>

Binds to extracellular structures and is important in cell recognition and lubrication of the cell surface.

Explanation:

They form a peri-cellular matrix around the cell and is observed as a fuzzy cell coat under a microscope. Glycocalyx molecules are mostly made up of carbohydrates bonded with lipids and proteins. They are significant in cell adhesion especially in tissues and for protection in prokaryotes. These molecules are also important in cell-to-cell communication and recognition.
