Which of the following components provides sticky character to the bacterial cell?

  1. Nuclear membrane
  2. Plasma membrane
  3. Glycocalyx
  4. Cell wall

Answer

(3) Glycocalyx

Solution

As per NCERT, most prokaryotic cells have a chemically complex cell envelope of three layers: the outermost glycocalyx, followed by the cell wall and then the plasma membrane.

⇒ The glycocalyx may be a loose sheath (slime layer) or thick and tough (capsule).

∴ The glycocalyx gives the sticky character to the bacterial cell.
