∙ 14y agoAt this time, there is no evidence that prokaryote or eukaryote cells can survive without a cell membrane and be metabolically active at the same time.
Many viruses don't have cell membrane but a a protein core instead. Viruses cannot be considered as living cell but infective particles because they are not active outside host cells.
