A polymer coat consisting of a dense, well- defined polymer layer surrounding a cell is called a
A) slime mold.
B) capsule.
C) lipopolysaccharide.
D) gycocalyx.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A capsule consists of a dense, well-defined polymer layer that surrounds a cell. Slime molds are single-celled organisms that are not associated with a polymer coat. Lipopolysaccharides are molecules found on the outer membrane of some bacterial cells, but they do not necessarily form a coat around the cell. Glycocalyx refers to a variety of polysaccharide and protein coatings found on some cells, but it may not necessarily be well-defined.
