Which of the following statements about proteoglycans is TRUE? Proteoglycans are composed of polysaccharides called glycosaminoglycans attached to a protein backbone. Proteoglycans are both composed of collagen and provide resistance to compression. Proteoglycans are composed of collagen. Proteoglycans are composed of polysaccharides called glycosaminoglycans.
