A. (i) and (iii)

B. (i) and (ii)

C. (ii) and (iii)

D. (i) and (iv)

Correct Answer : C.


In bacteria, a sticky, gelatinous material called glycocalyx collects outside the cell wall to form an additional surface layer. Glycocalyx covering of the bacterial cell may be loose, thin sheath or thick and tough coat. Loose glycocalyx covering is termed slime layer while tough and thick type is known as capsule.
