Answer:

False

Explanation:

The glycocalyx is the layer surrounding the plasma membrane of the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

The glycocalyx is composed of the carbohydrates and the protein molecules like the proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans and the other glycoproteins.

The glycocalyx has been identified in the bacterial cells as a protective layer from the host bu in eukaryotes the glycocalyx helps in the cell to cell interaction and communication.

Since the glycocalyx is not composed primarily of the proteins but of the carbohydrates and the proteins therefore false is the correct answer.

Answer: False. It is not glycocalyx.

Explanation:

Glycocalyx is a carbohydrate enriched membrane bound layer that surrounds the cell plasma of eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells, especially bacteria. It act as a barrier between the cells and its environments. In bacterial cell, it act as protective coat from host factors.

Glycocalyx help in cell to cell interaction or communication in eukaryotic cell. It is involved in diseases development and progression.

Murljashka [212]
Metabolizing nitrogen in prokaryotes is very important to other organisms since these prokaryotes are able to convert ammonium in the soil to nitrate and, then, the denitrifying bacteria could use the nitrate produced instead of using oxygen in their metabolism in order to release nitrogen molecules. by the denitrification process, thus completing the nitrogen cycle. Without the nitrogen metabolism in prokaryotes, the nitrogen in the atmosphere could not be used or utilized to synthesize essential organic compounds that are needed by other organisms. It is only the prokaryotes that has the ability fixing nitrogen or can do the process of nitrogen fixation.

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Facultative anaerobe.

Explanation:

Bacteria can be classified on the basis of their nutrition requirement and on the basis of different condition of oxygen in which they live. Two main types of bacteria are aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria.

Anaerobic bacteria grows in the absence of oxygen. The facultative anaerobe bacteria can undergoes the process of respiration in presence as well as in absence of oxygen. Thioglycollate chemicals helps to known the aero tolerance of the organism. The turbidity on the whole tube indicates that the bacteria is facultative anaerobe.

Thus, the correct answer is facultative anaerobe.
