NEET BIOLOGYCell : The Unit of Life Easy

Question

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

A

Nuclear membrane

B

Plasma membrane

C

Glycocalyx

D

Cell Wall

Step-by-Step Solution

The cell envelope of bacteria consists of a tightly bound three-layered structure: the outermost glycocalyx, followed by the cell wall and the plasma membrane . The glycocalyx can exist as a loose sheath called the slime layer , which provides a sticky character to the cell, helping in attachment.

Exam Context & Concepts Covered

This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Cell : The Unit of Life . Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
