Which function does the lipid bilayer component of the plasma membrane NOT provide for the cell?

The functions that the lipid bilayer component of the cell membrane does not provide for the cell are controls that exchange of mater and chemical information between one cell and adjacent cells or environment. The lipid bilayer provides an impermeable, self sealing membrane capable of dividing or fusing the cell without breaking.

What is the difference between self sealing and self fulfilling?

Do carbohydrates bind to the outside of cell membrane?

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"

Proteins in the cell membrane that identify the cell are called?

These proteins are called self markers. They tell the immune cells that they belong in the body and they should be attacked.Cell receptors (proteins) on the cell membrane mediate the inter cellular communications.
