Identify the correct statement regarding the cell envelope of a prokaryotic cell:
I: The outermost layer of the cell envelope is called as the glycocalyx which may be present as a loose sheath called the slime layer or a thick and tough capsule.
II: The cell wall determines the shape of the cell and provides a strong structural support to prevent the bacterium from bursting or collapsing.
III: Plasma membrane is selectively permeable in nature and interacts with the outside world.
IV: Bacterial cells can be classified as Gram positive and Gram negative based on the staining properties of their plasma membrane.
