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.
It will repair itself and close the membrane.
It leaves a very fine hole.
Both potassium and sodium ions can "leak" through the cell membrane due to diffusion.
yes it would because........ nothing is different about the function and structure of the cell membrane so in both cells the conditions of the cell membrane exploding will still be the same for both cell types (it will leak by therefore killing it)
On providing a hypotonic environment outside the cell, the plasma membrane bursts. When the cell membrane ruptures, the cellular contents are released to the environment as the cell membrane is the 'wall' that separates the cellular contents from the outer environment. In biological terminology, this is called cellular lysis.
The sodium/potassium pump, the sodium leak channel and the potassium leak channel.
The cell will die. The cell membrane/plasma membrane is a semipermeable lipid bilayer common to all living cells. It contains a variety of biological molecules, primarily proteins and lipids, which are involved in many cellular processes, and also serves as the attachment point for both the intracellular cytoskeleton and, if present, the cell wall. If it ruptures all cell organelles will leak out due to the difference of osmotic pressure and will result in the eath of the cell.
Yes, punctured veins leak blood.
A tubeless tire can get punctured but air will leak slowly.
The plasma membrane prevents that from happening.
Both potassium and sodium ions can "leak" through the cell membrane due to diffusion.
No. If it is punctured, it will leak, not explode.
Its contents would leak all over and breakdown and therefore it would not be a cell.
the cell membrane prevents the nucleus cytoplasm and ...etc not to leak out of the cell .so it is a wall that keeps every thing inside the cell.EX:lets say its like a water balloon that keeps the water inside the balloon.
Yes, the standard bi-lipid layer, and/plus an exterior, strong, Cell wall.Yes, and the cell membranes are usually covered by cell wall as well.
yes it would because........ nothing is different about the function and structure of the cell membrane so in both cells the conditions of the cell membrane exploding will still be the same for both cell types (it will leak by therefore killing it)
It's where Sodium Ions can flow freely between the cell membrane to maintain equilibrium.
