The pellicle provides additional structure and support that a cell membrane lacks. The pellicle also provides an attachment site for external organelles used for motility, food capture or defense such as cilia, flagella, or trichocysts.
Haha, you must be working on the protist crossword, the answer is pellicle.
A pellicle in microbiology refers to a thin film or layer that forms on the surface of a liquid culture, typically composed of microbial cells and extracellular polymeric substances. This structure is commonly observed in biofilms formed by bacteria and fungi in different environments, providing protection and allowing for interactions with the surrounding environment.
It is caused by the bacteria dying, because it ran out of oxygen. The bacteria that formed a pellicle would be considered a oligate aerobe or strict aerobe, because it can only survive in the presence of oxygen.
Because the Euglena's pellicle is flexible, this organism can change its shape and move in a characteristic spiral motion by contracting and expanding its body. This flexibility also allows Euglena to move towards light sources for photosynthesis and away from harmful stimuli.
The funnel-like depression on the pellicle of some cells is called a cytostome. It is an opening that allows the cell to take in nutrients or expel waste.

The Euglena's pellicle is stiff whereas the zooflagellates' pellicle is flexible.
Dental pellicle can be removed by abrasion involving extensive polishing which can only be performed by a dentist. Dental pellicle is the protein film which forms on the enamel surface.
The membrane that covers a euglena is called a pellicle. It is a flexible outer covering that helps maintain the euglena's shape and allows it to move in a characteristic spiraling motion.

A pellicle is a tacky film that forms on the surface of meat when smoking, which helps the smoke flavor adhere better to the meat and helps retain moisture during cooking. To achieve a pellicle, first pat the meat dry with paper towels, then let it sit in the refrigerator uncovered for a few hours to air-dry and allow the pellicle to form before smoking.
