Question

The MAN2A1 gene encodes an enzyme that acts on these molecules, after which they become Endo H-resistant. The antibiotic tunicamycin inhibits the transfer of one of these molecules. (0[1])Tree-like diagrams use colored polygons to represent examples of these molecules like the acid NANA and the amide derivative GlcNAc ("GLIK-NAK"), which composes (*) chitin. Different alleles of the ABO gene cause erythrocytes (0[2])to present different types (0[1])of (0[1])these molecules, (0[2])giving rise to ABO (0[1])blood types. A post-translational modification that adds these molecules (0[1])to proteins has "N-linked" and "O-linked" (10[1])types (0[1])that respectively occur in the ER and the Golgi. For 10 points, name these molecules named (10[1])with the suffix "ose," like glucose. (10[3])■END■ (10[7])

ANSWER: sugars [accept carbohydrates or carbs or monosaccharides or disaccharides or oligosaccharides or polysaccharides or glycans; prompt on glycoproteins or glycopeptides or proteoglycans by asking "what constituent molecules?"; prompt on antigens]
