Answer:

This should be the case ( YES )

Step-by-step explanation:

This should be the case and

It would be objective as logical for adhesins to be glycoproteins and receptors to be protein as well and this is because adhesins ( cell surface component) fastens bacteria to their host body ,and they can be seen as glycoproteins because The structure of Adhesins are mostly made of structural protein

Glycoproteins are proteins which contain glycans.
