Question

Select the correct sequence of prokaryotic cell envelope from the outermost to the innermost layer.

• A. Cell membrane $\to$ Cell wall $\to$ Glycocalyx
• B. Cell wall$\to$ Cell membrane $\to$ Glycocalyx
• C. Glycocalyx $\to$ Cell wall $\to$ Cell membrane
• D. Glycocalyx $\to$ Cell membrane $\to$ Cell wall

Answer 1

The correct option is C Glycocalyx $\to$ Cell wall $\to$ Cell membrane

Most of the prokaryotic cells have three layers of cell envelope. They are - the outermost glycocalyx followed by the cell wall and then the cell membrane.
