Want to know:

You believe a bacterium is attaching to animal cells by binding to the carbohydrate portion of a specific glycoprotein. To test this hypothesis you pre-incubate the bacteria with various molecules and then test for inhibition of attachment to the animal cells. Which result supports the hypothesis that the bacteria recognize the carbohydrate component of the animal glycoprotein? -Pretreatment with the carbohydrate component alone prevents bacteria attachment to the animal cells. -Pretreatment with the entire glycoprotein prevents bacteria attachment to the animal cells. -Pretreatment with the entire glycoprotein allows bacteria attachment to the animal cells. -Pretreatment with the protein component alone prevents bacteria attachment to the animal cells.
