Answer:
The plasma membrane is composed of a bilayer of phospholipids, with their hydrophobic, fatty acid tails in contact with each other. ... Carbohydrates are attached to some of the proteins and lipids on the outward-facing surface of the membrane. These form complexes that function to identify the cell to other cells.

According to this model, cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer with globular proteins embedded in the bilayer. On the external surface of the membrane, carbohydrate groups join with some lipids to form glycolipids. Glycolipids and glycoproteins function as cell identity markers.
