Because there is water in the cell. Water would form crystals as it freezes. These crystals interrupt the membranes and other organelles in the cells. They look okay while frozen, but once thawed, the cells cannot maintain their integrity any more. There are certain animal, I think a type of frog, that can handle freezing and thawing.

Would you rather go barefoot on freezing ice or on hot coals?
I would rather go barefoot on freezing ice. Ice may be uncomfortable and can cause frostbite, but it is less likely to cause serious and permanent damage compared to hot coals, which can cause severe burns.
The impact of freezing temperatures on living cells?
Freezing causes the water inside living cells to form sharp crystals. These crystals puncture and destroy the cellular organelles and membrane. Certain animals have 'cryoprotectants' that help reduce the damage caused by freezing.
What would damage liver cells?

Does freezing yourself for another time really work?
No. Freezing destroys the cells.
Would freezing yourself save you from cancer?
it just postpone it.because the Cancer cells can't work.
Can cells be perserved by freezing?
Freezing and thawing can destroy the cells, and this is not a processed used to preserve them. They can be preserved by cryopreservation by lowering the temperature to -196F.
Will freezing damage Tylenol?

How long does trichomonas take to damage your cells?
Trich won't damage your cells.
What would not help a saguaro survive in the desert?

Will it damage pots if I store them in freezing conditions?
If water is left in the pots they may crack from the freezing and thawing process.
Will freezing a germ kill it?
the answer is yes. this is because the decreasing temperature would cause most of the bacteria cells to die and eventually the bacteria would die.
