2
made inside the celll and excreted to the cell surface
glycocalyx
3
viscous, gelatinous polymer external to the cell wall
glycocalyx
4
TRUE OR FALSE: All bacteria contains glycocalyx but it depends on the what type of glycocalyx the bacteria has
true
5
two types of glycocalyx
slime layer
capsule

swarm
29
if an attractant is present what is the movement of prokaryote
directed movement
30
if no attractant is present what is the movement of the prokaryote
random movement
