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.
Alternation of generations in plants permits both mitosis and meiosis but at different stages.
The zygote will undergo many rounds of <u>mitosis</u> and give rise to a diploid multicellular plant called a sporophyte. Specialized cells of the sporophyte will undergo <u>meiosis</u> and produce haploid spores.
