The inside of a cell is an extremely controlled environment; the organelles inside are extremely fragile. Breaking open the membrane that controls the in/out flow of chemicals around the cell allows foreign objects to get inside the cell, causing damage. It also allows the cytoplasm to leak out, separating organelles.

What are larger cells with membrane-bounded organelles?
Eukaryotic cells are larger cells with membrane-bounded organelles. They include a nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes, among others. These organelles perform specialized functions within the cell.
How do large particles get into and out of cells?
Large particles enter and exit cells using vacuoles (enclosed spherical bodies) formed from the cells own membrane, although some of the structures within the cell can also form vacuoles for similar tasks. When a large object makes contact with the outer edge of the cell membrane, it forms a depression, which deepens until the object emerges on the inside of the cell sealed in a vacuole. The depression is sealed progressively with more cell membrane, so no "hole" is left behind. This process, also referred to as phagocytosis, is the same one white blood cells use to consume bacteria. The reverse processes (exocytosis) occurs in a similar way, but this time the vacuole merges with the inner surface of the cell membrane, and either the vacuole will cease to exist, or a new vacuole will form using the outer membrane, ensuring that a more delicate substance remains protected from its environment.
In what form do proteins enter the cells of the body?
Proteins enter cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, where the protein binds to a specific receptor on the cell surface and is engulfed by the cell in a vesicle. Alternatively, some proteins can pass through the cell membrane via protein channels or transporters.
Pinocytotic vesicle function?
Pinocytosis is " cell drinking, " so the function of the pimocytic vesicle is it's pinched off status formed when the cell membrane invaginates, forms a pocket, and the vesicle is formed and taken into the cell proper. Some nutrients come along for the ride.
What proteins are on the surface of the cell membrane?
The cell membrane contains many integral membrane proteins (proteins permanently attached to the surface), over the entire of its surface. These may include integrins, cadherins, desmosomes, clathrin-coated pits, caveolaes, and different structures involved in cell adhesion (the binding of a cell to the membrane surface).
What are larger cells with membrane-bounded organelles?
Eukaryotic cells are larger cells with membrane-bounded organelles. They include a nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes, among others. These organelles perform specialized functions within the cell.
What does membrane - bound sacks means?
When substances are too large to pass through the cell membrane directly (they'd leave a gaping hole), they are enclosed in a lipid sac that is similar in composition to the cell membrane. Instead of punching through the membrane, the sac merges with it allowing the large substance to exit the cell without damaging the membrane.
What are the holes in the mitochondria of an animal cell called?
They are not holes.They are membrane proteins.
Why does poking a hole in the top of the beer can make it pour smoother?
the beer gets to breathe when you poke the hole?
What kills invading cells by drilling a hole in cell membranes?
Perforin, a protein released by cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells, forms pores in the cell membranes of invading cells. This disruption leads to osmotic imbalance, cell death, and elimination of the invading cell.
What happens when the cell membrane or plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down?
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.
How do you make your own hole puncher?
Just get scissors and a pencil. You can draw the hole, stick the scissor inside by poking it in the middle, then you can just cut the hole out
What is the protein that punches hole into the plasma membrane of a infected host cell called?
The protein that punches holes into the plasma membrane of an infected host cell is called a pore-forming protein. These proteins create pores that disrupt the cell membrane's integrity, leading to cell lysis and death.
Why is poking holes in the ozone layer a problem?
Poking holes in ozone layer is a problem. A hole in ozone would cause the ultraviolet radiations to enter the surface.

What is it called when a virus attached to host cell injects its nucleic acid into the host cell then makes more viruses?
Attachment, or adsorption, occurs between the virus and the host cell membrane. A hole forms in the cell membrane, then the virus particle or its genetic contents are released into the host cell, where viral reproduction may begin.
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.
