A type of glycocalyx called the slime layer is loosely attached to the bacterial cell and protects it from dehydration and loss of nutrients .
<h3>What is glycocalyx ?</h3>
The glycocalyx is a thick outer covering of the plasma membrane .it is of stands of sugars and proteins bound together ,the result is a thick ,sticky layer that helps cells stay put in environments with lots of physical stress .it is a glycoprotein and glycolipid covering that surrounds the cell membranes of bacteria ,epithelial cells and other cells .
Glycocalyx in humans : it is important to both vascular function and the digestive system . your blood vessels actually tiny tubes made of cells .the cells on the very inside of the tube are called endothelial cells and have to withstand the stress of blood flowing over them constantly. endothelial cells produce a glycocalyx which helps leukocytes and thrombocytes stick to blood vessel walls.it is the protective layer of the endothelial cells found in the lumen side of the vessels .
Glycocalyx in bacteria : most of the bacteria produce glycocalyx but some are expert .these expert bacteria make a very thick glycocalyx that helps them to adhere to each other and surfaces in extreme environments .bacteria use the glycocalyx to make thick films of bacteria in nature as well ,called a biofilm .

The ecological relationship between termites and the wood-digesting protozoans that live in their gut is an example of mutualism. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.
Answer:
The force of friction is reduced between the blocks by adding the dishwashing liquid because the liquid is slippery and this makes it difficult for the two surfaces to contact each other directly. Therefore the blocks slip past each other rather than grinding against each other, producing less friction.

Looking at the drawing carefully, the message the artist was trying to pass about invasive species is that they are monsters that suffocate, hinder, or devour other species found in the environment.
Generally, invasive species are species of living organisms that have the capacity to outcompete other species in any environment they are introduced to. Invasive species operates using different strategies. Some of the strategies include:
- high rate of reproduction
- high rate of survival
- secretion of chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of other species in the environment
- high dispersal rate
Using different combinations of these strategies, invasive species gradually take over any environment they get introduced to once they get themselves acclimatized to it.
