Carbohydrate groups are covalently attached to many different proteins to form glycoproteins. Carbohydrates are a much smaller percentage of the weight of glycoproteins than of proteoglycans. Many glycoproteins are components of cell membranes, where they play a variety of roles in processes such as cell adhesion and the binding of sperm to eggs.
D?
