Question

How do the functions of the glycoproteins on the virus and the flagella on the bacteria differ?
A.
Glycoproteins allow a virus to recognize and bind to host cells, while flagella propel bacteria through water.
B.
Glycoproteins allow a virus to produce and secrete toxins, while flagella are used for bacterial conjugation.
C.
Glycoproteins allow a virus to recognize and attach to food sources, while flagella catch food for bacteria.
D.
Glycoproteins allow a virus to absorb materials from the environment, while flagella are used for respiration.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

glycoproteins are proteins associated with carbohydrate channels. they can be found on the surface of the plasma membrane. they are exhibiting the mutual identification between cells. viruses use them as keys to enter the host cell.

flagella is a locomotive component often found in prokaryotic cells. it's made up of microtubules/ microtubulins.
