They are the glycosylated part of glycolipids, which are the main constituents of the cellular membrane. Rather than a homogeneous coating of the surface, they look a lot more like trees, and are important in cell recognition, signalling and receptores.

What is cell coat?
A cell coat is a covering over the plasma membrane of most animal cells. It consists of glycoprotiens and polysaccharides and has a chemical composition that differs from comparable structures in either plants or bacteria. The cell coat provides a biochemical identity at the surface of the cells and these forms of cellular identity are under genetic control. AB and MN antigens are on the surface of red blood cells and histocompatability antigens, which elicit an immune response during tissue and organ transplants, are present in other cells. These are recognition sites that transfer specific chemical signals across the cell membrane into the cell.
Is the glycocalyx is often referred to as the cell coat which is somewhat fuzzy and sticky with numerous cholesterol chains sticking out from the surface of the cell membrane .true or false?
false.
What makes up the surface of a cell?
In a plant cell it is the cell wall. In an animal cell it is a cell membrane
Clear fluid in eukaryotic cells surround the nucleus and organelles?
Not Cell Walls. The bi-lipid Cell membrane; plant Cells include the exterior Cell Wall while animal Cells include the exterior Cell glycol-callyx [sugar-protein] Coat.
All cells are surrounded by a(n)?
A Cell Membrane: The bi-lipid-layer Cell Membrane. Plant Cells include an exterior [cellulosic] Cell Wall while animal Cells include an exterior glyco-callyx [sugar-protein] Cell Coat.
What does it mean to coat in sugar?
To coat in sugar is to have a layer of sugar on the whole surface. It is normally a thin layer.
What are the Parts of the virus and the human cell that bind together?
The coat protein of the virus binds to a specifc cell surface receptor on the human cell.

The molecule that make the cell surface fuzzy sticky and sugar-rich are the?
glycoproteins
What is the academic term for sugar coat?
The academic term for sugar coat is euphemism.
Is the glycocalyx is often referred to as the cell coat which is somewhat fuzzy and sticky with numerous cholesterol chains sticking out from the surface of the cell membrane .true or false?
false.
Why is the cell wall absent in animal cell?
1) Define cell wall; 2) Animal cells are covered by a sugar-protein coat; 3) Animal cells are surrounded and protected by other Animal cells;
What is role of sugar residues in the plasma membrane?
In bacteria they form the [cellulosic and exterior] Cell Wall; in animals sugars are combined with proteins to form the [exterior] Glyco-Calyx Cell Coat.
What is it called to coat with a thin sugar syrup?
Caramelize.
How does the structure of a plant Cell keep it safe?
Cell Membranes of all sorts are fragile. Plant Cells encase their Interiors, including the Cell membrane, with a Strong cellulosic Cell Wall. Animal Cells produce a glyco-callyx [sugar-protein] Cell Coat.
'what organelle witnin cell is most affected by lack of insulin?
Insulin operates on those surface (membrane) proteins that transport sugar through the cell wall, not on organelles within the cell.
What are three roles sugar-coated proteins play in the life of a cell?
The term glycocalyx (sugar covering), is used to describe the fuzzy, sticky carbohydrate-rich area at the cell surface. You can think of your cells as sugar coated. The glycocalyx that clings to each cell's surface is enriched both by glycolips and by glycoproteins secreted by the cell.
