They are found in all connective tissues, extracellular matrix (ECM) and on the surfaces of many cell types. The key difference between proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans is that proteoglycans are organic compounds containing a protein bound to a… 

Are All Photosynthetic Eukaryotes Plants

Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis (Figure 1). Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (literally, “self-feeders using light”). The photosynthetic eukaryotes (i.e., algae and plants) define a vast assemblage of autotrophs (Graham… 

Are Fat Soluble Vitamins Lipids

The lipids of nutritional importance are triglycerides (fats and oils), phospholipids (e.g., lecithin), and sterols (e.g., cholesterol).
