Answer:

False

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.
