Chapter 3, Problem 10TMW
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that eukaryotic glycocalyces covalently bound to cytoplasmic membranes and also the reason that eukaryotes with cell wall does not have glycocalyces.
Introduction:
Glycocalyx is a sticky and gelatinous substance that surrounds the cell from outside. It is made up of polypeptides and polysaccharides that protect the cell from drying.
