Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolipids are membrane carbohydrates linked to lipids. These carbohydrate chains help in cell-to-cell recognition.
Detailed explanation-2: -Membrane markers allow cells to recognize one another, which is vital for cellular signaling processes that influence tissue and organ formation during early development. This marking function also plays a later role in the “self”-versus-“non-self” distinction of the immune response.
Detailed explanation-3: -Along with peripheral proteins, carbohydrates form specialized sites on the cell surface that allow cells to recognize each other.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrate groups are present only on the outer surface of the plasma membrane and are attached to proteins, forming glycoproteins, or lipids, forming glycolipids.
