Your brain stem would be your answer
An animal cell lacking carbohydrates on the external surface of its plasma membrane would likely be impaired in CELL TO CELL RECOGNITION.
Carbohydrates have diverse functions, one of their functions is that they serve as a recognition signal at the surface of cells.
Carbohydrates located on the surface of cells enable cells to recognize and communicate with one another.
E)Krebs cycle/ cristae of mitochondria
Krebs cycle occurs inside the matrix of the mitochondria. Electron transport chain takes place in the cristae.
One big reason for this is because individuals of the same species often have to fight over shared resources (this means shared food and shared environment).
Because they fight over a limited amount of space and food, competition between individuals within one species can be present and very tough.
On the other hand, having members of different species also possibly means different territories and different food sources. A lion has no quarrel with dolphins, while it can have a lot of fights with lions from different prides (large group of lions).
