Answer:
creates a slimy, slippery coating that prevents bacteria form attaching to surfaces
Explanation:
Glycocalyx is made up of polysaccharide and is present outside the bacteria cell wall. Glycocalyx forms the capsule in bacteria when it is firmly attached to the cell wall.
Glycocalyx plays an important role in protecting the bacteria from the host defense. Glycocalyx also enables bacteria to attach environmental and on the host cell surface which is important for bacterial pathogenesis.
Therefore it is not true that glycocalyx prevents bacteria from attaching to the surfaces.
