Glycocalcyx plays a role in immunity, transplant compatibility, cell adhesion, and protection

<h3>What is Glycocalcyx ?</h3>

The cell membranes of bacteria, epithelial cells, and other cells are covered in a glycoprotein and glycolipid layer called the glycocalyx, also referred to as the pericellular matrix. Martinez-Palomo first identified the glycocalyx, a cell covering seen on animal cells, in 1970.

  • One of the glycocalyx's roles is to restrict molecules' access to the EC membrane. Another is to dissipate fluid shear stress far from the membrane. A third function is the possibility of transmitting mechanical forces into the cell via GAG and core protein components.

How does deforestation lead to helping conservation?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Deforestation leads to the loss of biodiversity and of indigenous tribes’ homes. Deforestation also affects billions more people around the world indirectly, through its impact on climate change, water and nutrient cycling and food availability. The world’s benefit from conservation far outweighs the costs to the owner, such as the profit they lose by not logging. It would thus make sense for the wealthier North to simply pay the tropical countries in the South to conserve and protect their forests.

Explanation:

hope this helps
