In simple terms cells perform apoptosis in which the program thereself to die through a series of key regulatory proteins. Examples include: when the cells maintain injury to parts or to specific parts of DNA or when the cells are infected with viruses. In other words cells can 'program' to die when mechanical damage is sustained or when external factors come into play. The outcome is to protect the organism as a whole.

How does a weakened cell membrane cause bacteria to die?
Mitocondria
How are lytic and lysogenic cycles the same?
They are the same only in the way that take over the cell hosts. The lytic cycle will cause the cell to rapidly rupture and die at the end of their life cycle. The lysogenic virus will hide in the cell's nucleus for many cycles until it too will cause the death of the cell.
What happens if the receptors of the plasma membrane are damaged?
When the receptors of the plasma membrane in a cell are damaged the cell with typically die. In humans this is no cause for alarm as new cells are created daily while old cells die off.
Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
What is the function of a cell membrane and why is it important?

How does the freezing method affect the cell?

Why will a cell die with out a cell membrane?
A cell will die because it cannot control what enters and leaves the cell.
