Answer-Animals can digest both but at some extent. Explanation-In case if glycoprotein the proteolytic and glycosidic digestion happens but sometimes incomplete due to steric hindrance in the presence of bulky oligisacchaoligo.glycoproteins are delivered to lysosome for catabolism either by endocytosis or by autophagy withing the cell.
In case of proteoglycan it is digested by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron,a human colonic anaerobe.cella of B.thetaiotaomicron are able to digest chondroitin sulphate in proteoglycan.And trypsin also can digest proteoglycan .
