What would happen to the cell if the membrane did not allow any materials to pass through?

The cell would not be able to receive important substance like oxygen and glucose, hence the mitochondria will be unable to undergo aerobic respiration to produce energy to fuel the cell activities.

∙ 11y agoThe cell membrane is permeable but not totally thereby said to be selectively or partially permeable. If this layer would not have been around our cells, we would all have died since exchange of materials(food, oxygen, excretory waste products) between the body and the environment would not have been possible.

What could happen if cells didn't have osmosis?
What could happen to a cell if it didn't allow anything in through its membrane
What are the special structures in the cell membrane that allow materials such as water and sugar through made of?
PROTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of permeablilty is it when a membrane only allows some materials to pass?
yes, they only allow water moleclues to pass through the membrane.
Does the cell membrane have tiny holes that allow materials to pass into and out of the cell?
yes
What is the funtion of the cell membrane?
The function of the cell membrane is to allow materials that are needed into the cell and the materials that are not needed and/or a waste product are taken out of the cell.
What is the ability of a cell membrane to allow materials to pass through?
permeability

permeability
What are the special structures in the membrane that allow materials as water and sugar to pass through made of?
Membrane transporter.

permeability
What is the ability of a cell membrane to allow materials to pass through it ca surrounded by a semipermeable membrane What would happen if this layer were permeable to most substances?
d large molecules would be able to enter and damage the nucleus . . . . . .

What is the ability of a membrane to allow materials to pass through called?
Permeable if anything can go through or semipermeable if only certain things can go through it.
What is the nuclear pore used for?
The nuclear pores are tiny holes in the the nuclear membrane surrounding the nucleus of a cell, which allow the movement of solluable materials through the nuclear membrane, in and out of the nucleus.
