Question
Cell reognition and adhesion occur due to biochemicals of cell membranes named
Options
A.proteins
B.lipids

Solution
In the cell membrane, oligosaccharides do not occur freely but are attached to the external surface of phospholipids and proteins forming glycolipids and glycoproteins respectively. They form cell coat (glycocalyx) which acts as recognition centre, site for attachment and provides antigen specificity to cell membranes, blood grouping and matching og tissues in transplantation of organs.
