78. All of the following characteristics describe glycoproteins EXCEPT ____.
Glycoproteins provide support and protection.
Glycoproteins are the main component of the extracellular matrix.

MATCHING
Match each of the following types of microscopy with the description that best describes it.
Utilizes a thin beam of electrons to examine structures within a cell.
Utilizes lasers to scan a fluorescently stained specimen; a computer focuses the laser to
show a single plane through a cell.
Utilizes differences in the way light is bent (refraction) in areas of various cellular density
to visualize living cells.
Requires light passing through the specimen; typically involves staining with dye to
enhance contrast. This treatment usually “fixes” and kills the cell.
A beam of electrons scanned over a whole cell allows visualization of surface structures;
gives a 3D-appearing image.
