Answer:

be part of the cell signaling process

Explanation:

Glycoproteins and glycolipids are proteins and lipids with carbohydrate chain attached to it. They are an important component of the cell membrane with many roles:

  • stabilizing membrane structure-because of their ability to bind water molecules via hydrogen bonds
  • cell signaling-they are often membrane receptors for the hormones and neurotrasmitters
  • cell attachment (adhesion)-for the connection between cells
  • cell recognition-they can act as antigens on the cell surface (immune role)

<span>Basically because of the presence of cellular organization and hierarchy which organs are influenced by individual autonomic cells.

The cellular organization relates with one another since the colossal cell, the organ system is fundamentally composed of cells. Cells are the building blocks of these structures and which creates such organ and organ system. They associate as one cell intercommunicates with another cell until all received the message and translates it and sends it with another organ and to cell -vice-versa. And also, they become interdependent with the other cell -other tissue -other organs -other organ system. </span>
Cells when grouped form tissues, when group of tissues are formed together they make organs, some organisms skip from organs to organs systems to form an existing organism as a whole. Describing how is the cells group is the process of multiplication of cell or the so-called cell division, mitosis.This mechanism of each cell produces another cell that binds together and produces again, repeatedly, to be a larger system called now the tissue as explained earlier. How? Through cell division called, mitosis. Excerptmeiosis –cell division specifically in the sex cells.<span> </span>
