Answer:

Article Summary: Some bacteria have an additional layer outside of the cell wall called the glycocalyx. This coating of macromolecules protects the cell and helps it adhere to surfaces. A glycocalyx is considered a slime layer when the glycoprotein molecules are loosely associated with the cell wall.

Glycocalyx is a highly charged layer of membrane-bound biological macromolecules attached to a cell membrane. This layer functions as a barrier between a cell and its surrounding. Glycocalyx is also involved in development and progression of many diseases.

A cell wall is a structural layer surrounding some types of cells, just outside the cell membrane. It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.
