Question

Cell recognition and adhesion occur due to biochemicals of cell membranes named

• A. Proteins
• B. Lipids
• C. Proteins and lipids
• D. Glycoproteins and glycolipids

Answer 1

The correct option is D Glycoproteins and glycolipids

• Cell recognition and adhesion occur due to biochemicals of cell membranes name glycoproteins and glycolipids.
  
• Glycocalyx or pericellular matrix is a carbohydrate-enriched coating of glycoprotein and a glycolipid that covers the cell membranes of few bacteria, epithelial cells and other cells.
  
• It is mainly used in the recognition of the cell (distinguish between healthy and diseased cells) and also regulates the endothelial vascular tissues.
• So, the correct answer is 'Glycoproteins and glycolipids'.
