Glycocalyx
When cells interact with their environment, the glycocalyx helps adhere cells to molecules and other cells. It also sends out signals to attract white blood cells if there is an infection or damaged cell. Glycocalyx also helps cells recognize other cells through membrane receptors and receive chemical and electric signals that tell the cell what to do.
