Functions of the glycocalyx include all of the following EXCEPT

B) binary fission.

A glycocalyx is a glycoprotein covering, which surrounds the cell membranes of some bacteria, epithelia, and other cells. It is a thick outer covering of the plasma membrane. It composes of strands of sugars and proteins bound together.

explanation:

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
