It depends on the way the puncture occurs.
If to big of a rupture is created in a cell wall, the contents of the cell will leak out and the cell will die.
However, a cell wall can reseal itself after certain insults. Neuropsychologists can insert a pipet into a single living neuron. The cell will seal itself around the pipet and the neuropsychologist can record the actual electrical impulses from within the cell.
It is also possible to use a pipet to insert genetic material into an egg cell. The cell will not only recover, but it can divide and reproduce using the new genetic material.

Why does cell membrane not leak when its is punctured with a needle?
If a cell is punctured with an ultra-fine needle it will NOT leak. instead, the proteins and phospholipids will move in to fill the gap as the needle is removed.
What happens to the cell's surface area as it grows?
the cell surface will grow along with the cell.
When was The Biology of the Cell Surface created?
The Biology of the Cell Surface was created in 1939.
What controls the movement in and out of the cell in plant cells?
cell membrane aka plasma membrane
How does surface area describe a cell?
Surface area of cell is divided volume of cell to get surface to volume ratio . If surface area is 8 cm2 and volume is 2 cm2 . The ratio would be 4:1 .
What will happen if the balloon is a punctured with a hole?
it will run out of air
Why Does the surface area affects the ability to get materials in and out of the cell?
Because to get in and out you have to cross the cell's surface and if it has a bigger area more can happen than with a smaller area. To increase the surface area volume ratio, the cell can reduce in size or change its shape.

What would happen to a fresh water cell if placed into salt-water?
die..and its body will float on the surface
What kind of technology is electroporation?
Electroporation is the technology that is connected to the increase of electrical conductivity that is seen in the cell. This can cause the cell membrane to weaken and be more easily punctured.
A cell's volume grows faster than its surface area so if cell gets too large what would happen?
If the cell's surface-to-volume ratio got too small as a result of the volume increasing faster than the surface area, the cell would no tbe able to get the nutrients it needs to survive and would die.
What would happen to a cell if its surface area became too large?
it will not be able to take in enough nutrients or get rid of wastes
What is the homonym for punctured pumpkin?
The homonym for "punctured pumpkin" is "punctured puncheon," which refers to a large cask or barrel.
What happens to the cell's surface area as it grows?
the cell surface will grow along with the cell.
How is water stored?
In our bodies, it's stored inside the cell within a vacuole. In general, it can be stored in any stable container that is not punctured.
When was The Biology of the Cell Surface created?
The Biology of the Cell Surface was created in 1939.
A larger surface area makes diffusion happen more quickly?
Yes, a larger surface area allows for more contact between the molecules involved in diffusion and the surrounding environment, facilitating a faster exchange of molecules. This is because more molecules can be in contact with the surface at the same time, increasing the rate of diffusion.
