How is a cell affected if it looses the ability to be selectively permeable?
It will burst. It is selectively permeable to ensure that only the material that is required in the cell is able to enter it, if it looses the ability to to be selectively permeable then difusion will occur and the cell with try to be equal to the outside pressure, which will likely cause the cell to burst.
