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.

∙ 12y agoIf sufficiently damaged, the inner contents of the cell would leak out. This would kill the cell. This actually happens pretty frequently as a defensive measure from the innate immune system. A group of proteins referred to as complement react to form a pore in an invading cell.

∙ 7y agoA cell membrane separates the internal environment of a cell from its external environment, without it a cell wouldn't exist.

Without the cell membrane, the cell would collapse and die. Without the cell membrane, any chemical would be allowed to enter. Membranes are very important because they help protect the cell.

What would happen to a cell if its membrane burst?
It would depend on the extent of the damage to the cell membrane. If there is only minor damage to the membrane, the cell will produce the necessary proteins, fats and carbohydrates to repair the damage, and work towards returning to homeostasis. If the damage is extensive, the cell will lyse and die, as it is no longer able to maintain homeostasis.
What would happen to a cell if materials could not move across the cell membrane?
it will died
What would happen if the plasma membrane ruptures or break down?
Plasma Membrane is the outer covering of the cell that seperates its content from the surrounding medium. It is a selectively permeable membrane . If it rupture or breaks down the cytoplasm will come in direct contact with the surrounding medium and the act of selection will stop.
Reproduction would not occur if which part of a cell was removed?
The Cell Membrane
What would happen to the cell if the fatty acids in the cell membrane became soluble in water?
it would cause the cell to lose all of its contents to the outside
When a cell membrane is damaged by a free radical which specific component of the cell membrane is damaged?
cholestrol
What would happen to the cell membrane if it were damaged?

There would be no protein synthesis.
What would happen if a fatty acids in a cell membrane were polar molecules?
The cell would dissolve in water.
What would happen if the fatty acids in cell membrane were polar molecules?
