What is the structure called?
A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid.
Is starch a phospholipid?
No. Starch is a sugar polymer. (A carbohydrate.)
What are the specialized parts of a phospholipid bilayer?
The Phospholipid Bilayer is made up of phospholipids. These phospholipids have a hydrophillic head, and a hydrophobic tail. They are structured so that the hydrophillic head interacts with water, and the hydrophobic tails stays away from water, but mixes with fat. This makes the phospholipids form the phospholipid bilayer. The Phospholipid Bilayer has intrinsic proteins and extrinsic proteins attached, which may have glycoproteins attached to them. Glycolipids may also be attached to the hydrophillic heads of the phospholipid. Cholestrol is also part of the phospholipid bilayer, which adds strengh to the structure.

What are the structures of a phospholipid?
Glycerol backbone, with fatty acids attached to C1 and C2 and a phosphate attached at the last carbon. Attached to it is a base or an alcohol.
What is another name for the phospholipid?
Another name for the phospholipid bilayer is the plasma membrane or the cell membrane.
What is the purpose of the carbohydrate tails attached to some transport proteins?
It works as a name tag; a way to identify what kind of cell it is.
Which protein in the plasma membrane has carbohydrate attached?
glycoprotein
What are three components of the plasma membrane?
phospholipid bilayer, channel proteins, and carbohydrate chains
What is another name for the phospholipid bilayer?
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...
