Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Glycation is the result of the covalent bonding of a sugar molecule, such as glucose or fructose, to a protein or lipid molecule without the controlling action of an enzyme. Glycation may occur either inside the body or outside the body. It is a haphazard process that impairs the functioning of biomolecules, and does not require the expenditure of ATP.
