Question

An animal cell lacking oligosaccharides on the external surface of its plasma would likely be impaired in which function?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cell recognition and cell binding

Explanation:

this functions needed to communicating between the cells, and in organzim it can cause a miss communication leading to failures in the immune response.

Answer 2

Answer:

The lack of oligosaccharides on the external surface of plasma in the animal cells would likely result in impaired function of cell-cell recognition.

Explanation:

The oligosaccharides play an important role in the process of communicating between the cells. These are present in the lipid bilayer and acts as a receptor for cellular recognition and plays an important role in cell signaling.

This type of miscommunication due to improper cell recognition and signalling can also hamper the immune response of the cells.
