Question

how would the data in this figure change if the sperm receptor were only able to attach to the carbohydrate component when it is part of the intact glycoprotein? results attachment inhibition (%) 100 80 this experiment 60 previous experiments 40 20 0 intact untreated glycoprotein (control) carbohydrate protein the bars for the carbohydrate and protein components would be equally large. the bar for the carbohydrate component would be small, and the bar for the protein component would be large. the bar for the intact glycoprotein would be small, and the untreated control would be large. the bars for the carbohydrate and protein components would be equally small.

Explanation:

If the sperm receptor can only attach to the carbohydrate component when it's part of the intact glycoprotein, then isolated carbohydrate and protein components won't be able to bind effectively. So, attachment inhibition for both carbohydrate and protein components would be low, resulting in equally small bars for them.

Answer:

The bars for the carbohydrate and protein components would be equally small.
