Explanation

The conjugated proteins are simple globular proteins linked to non-protein substances called prosthetic groups. Glycoproteins or Mucoproteins are proteins bound to carbohydrate groups and Phospho-proteins. They are proteins linked to phosphate groups; hence are acidic. E.g., casein of milk and vitellin of egg-yolk.
