Which of the following is true about glycosylated plasma membrane proteins?
A)Carbohydrate is added only after the protein is in the plasma membrane.
B)The carbohydrate usually is one sugar and rarely more than 5 sugars long.
C)Only one specific site is glycosylated on each protein.
D)N-linked carbohydrates are linked to hydroxyl groups in protein R groups.
E)The carbohydrates can be detected experimentally with ferretin-linked lectins.

Glycosylated plasma membrane proteins can indeed be detected experimentally using ferritin-linked lectins, which bind specifically to carbohydrates. This method allows for the visualization and study of the distribution and presence of glycosylated proteins on the cell surface.
