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)

Read the Mungo Lady and Mungo Man Do others in the field of anthropology agree with Dr. Thorne's view? Explain.

I've read the story back a couple months ago

Actually, there are many archeologists and anthropologists disagree with dr. Thorne's view. Basically, Thorne strongly believes that what many calls Homo erectus was, in fact, Homo sapiens, and that they migrated out of Africa almost 2 million years ago and dispersed throughout Europe and Asia. That would actually be very different from what scientists have always believed about the evolution of the species. That is why many of them are against him)
