CARBOHYDRATE HELPS TO IDENTIFY CELL TYPES.
Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are all present inside the cell. Carbohydrates are usually attached to the cell proteins and lipids in order to enhance their functionality. These attached carbohydrates are typically used to identify cells.
Solution:
The function of a protein is determined by its shape.
The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids).
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.
