GO:0005618 cell wall The rigid or semi-rigid envelope lying outside the cell membrane of plant, fungal, and most prokaryotic cells, maintaining their shape and protecting them from osmotic lysis. In plants it is made of cellulose and, often, lignin; in fungi it is composed largely of polysaccharides; in bacteria it is composed of peptidoglycan. 356
GO:0042600 chorion A protective, noncellular membrane that surrounds the eggs of various animals including insects and fish. 15
GO:0030288 outer membrane-bounded periplasmic space The region between the inner (cytoplasmic or plasma) membrane and outer membrane of organisms with two membranes such as Gram negative bacteria. These periplasmic spaces are relatively thick and contain a thin cell wall. 7
GO:0045203 integral to cell outer membrane Located such that some or all of the gene product itself penetrates at least one phospholipid bilayer of the external outer membrane of the cell. May also refer to the state of being buried in the bilayer with no exposure outside the bilayer. 3
GO:0030112 glycocalyx A viscous, carbohydrate rich layer at the outermost periphery of a cell. 1
GO:0009279 cell outer membrane A lipid bilayer that forms the outermost layer of the cell envelope; enriched in polysaccharide and protein; the outer leaflet of the membrane contains specific lipopolysaccharide structures. 1
