At 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.
no

Not for a nanosecond.

Quite simply, the cell would no longer be a contained 'system' and as such the content of the cell would spill into its environment. This can be seen when a cell 'lyses' or bursts
No, all cells have a cell membrane that acts as a protective barrier around the cell. It controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining its internal environment. Without a cell membrane, the cell would not be able to survive.
Every cell must have a cell membrane to maintain its integrity and to survive.

The cell membrane does not just separate the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell. It provides flexibility to the cell. It also creates a semi-permeable membrane, therefore letting osmosis of water occur. Without the cell membrane, cells would not be able to maintain equilibrium, and no cells would be able to survive today.
Without the cell wall, the bacteria will be susceptible to destruction by chemicals outside the plasma membrane (which is just inside the cell wall of bacteria), and it will not be able to survive.
The cell membrane is essentially the wall around your house. In addition to giving shape to the cell, the selectively-permeable nature of the cell membrane allows the cell to determine what chemical compounds are let in and out. This helps to keep out potentially toxic compounds.
There are a number of possible things that could happen to a cell if it no longer could produce cholesterol. This would result into the death of the cell since cholesterol is what produces the cell membrane which allows the cell to exist.
