7 0

Answer:

The sugar in glycoprotein mix with water in order to form a "smooth mucus." This mucus is responsible for trapping the substances in order to protect the body.

Explanation:

"Glycoprotein" was named according to its composition because it is<em> a simple protein consisting of simple sugar.</em> It can be found in cell's membrane, thus it is directly related to the organs in the body.

Glycoproteins mainly function in the body's<em> "immunology" </em>and<em> "protection."</em> When it comes to immunology, glycoproteins assist the body in blood clot formation. When it comes to protection, they provide a "smooth mucus" that protects the cell linings from agents (e.g. <em>bacteria or harsh acids</em>) such as those in the lungs, stomach and small intestines.
