Multiple Choice

A) A person with O blood type would have gangliosides with terminal fucose residues only exposed on their glycolipids.
B) A person with A blood type would have gangliosides with both terminal fucose and terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residues exposed on their glycolipids.
C) A person with B blood type would have gangliosides with terminal fucose and galactose residues on their glycolipids.
D) A person with AB blood type would have gangliosides with terminal fucose, terminal N-acetylgalactosamine and terminal galactose residues exposed on their glycolipids.
E) all statements are correct
