What else can I help you with?
What happens to a cell if the water in it freezes?
When water in a cell freezes, it forms ice crystals that can puncture through the cell membrane. This can cause the cell to burst or become damaged, leading to cell death.
What happens if the receptors of the plasma membrane are damaged?
If the receptors of the plasma membrane are damaged, the cell may not be able to receive signals from the external environment, which can disrupt important cellular processes like cell communication, growth, and metabolism. This can lead to various functional impairments and affect the overall health and functioning of the cell.
When a cell membrane is damaged by a free radical which specific component of the cell membrane is damaged?
The unsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipid bilayer are the specific components of the cell membrane that are vulnerable to damage by free radicals. Free radicals can cause lipid peroxidation of these fatty acids, leading to membrane dysfunction and cell damage.
What happens to the pocket in the cell in the membrane when it breaks loose from the membrane?
Usually, the membrane will burst and let its contents out into the cell membrane and get used up.
What happens if the nucleus of the cell is damaged?
the cell would die
What happens to the cell if the cytoskeleton is destroyed?
If the cell wall is damaged, it is likely that the cell will deform and the inner contents of the cell may break the cell membrane as the cell wall provides the rigid structure to hold the cell together.
What happens to damaged cell organelles?
They are digested.
What happens if there is an excess of cholesterol in the cell membrane?
An excess of cholesterol in the cell membrane can lead to decreased fluidity and flexibility of the membrane, potentially affecting the cell's ability to function properly.
What happens if a cell membrane doesn't function?
it will damage
What would happen to a cell if the cell membrane were damaged?
The cell will burst and eventually die. The cell membrane is like the skin of the cell, which holds the cell together. other than that, it is semi-permeable. This means that it only allow selected substances ,such as water, may pass through it.
What happens to the portion of the cell membrane that surround a large molecule during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
What happens to the portion of a cell membrane that surrounds a large molecule during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
