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.

regulation of gene expression. gene expression can be regulated by various cellular processes with the aim to control the amount and nature of the expressed genes. these regulatory proteins bind to dna and send signals that indirectly control the rate of gene expression
