The noble gases are left out of the trends in atomic radii because there is great debate over the experimental values of their atomic radii.

The SI units for measuring atomic radii are the nanometer (nm) and the picometer (pm). 1 nm = 1 X 109 m; 1 pm = 1 X 10-12 m.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Prior to transfer to a nascent chain in the lumen of the  ER, the oligosaccharide precursor is assembled on amembrane- attached anchor called dolichol phosphate, a longchain polyisoprenoid lipid

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

First sugar residue is attached to dolichol by a high-energy pyrophosphate linkage & the other sugars are added by glycosidic bonds

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Two N- acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and five mannose residues are added one at a time to a dolichol phosphate on the cytosolic face of the ER membrane
