Yes they can be bonded to the outside of cell membranes. The carbohydrates located on the cell membrane are there to help the cell in cell recognition to determine whether a particle close to it is one that it needs to have within it or one that it does not need or that could be potentially harmful to it. They have a specific orientation with the outer layer of the cell membrane to help more fully with the recognition of "self" vs. "other"

What substance on the plasma membrane helps identify chemical signals from outside the cell?
carbohydrates
Do carbohydrates on the outside of a cell membrane act as chemical identification cards?
obviously not
What must occur for a message to be sent from the outside of the cell inside?
A signaling molecule must bind with a membrane protein.

What is the function of the specific carbohydrates that are attached to the cell membrane?
The function of the specific carbohydrates that are attached to the cell membrane are to provide oxygen membrane. They also provide some fixed energy to various functions of the cell membrane.
What is the outside of a cell call?
Cell membrane
Which cell contains membrane proteins en- abling a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane?
The cell membrane contains the membrane proteins that enable a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane. These proteins, such as receptor proteins, are responsible for recognizing and binding to specific hormones, allowing the hormone to exert its effects on the cell.
Where is the cell membrane on a ciliated epithelial cell?
Well, the cell membrane is on the outside of a cell. So that is the answer , on the outside of the cell, protecting the inner part.
What is the outside of a plant called?
the cell wall, or it could also be the cell membrane, the cell wall is outside the cell membrane
