b. Golgi apparatus is removed from cell

c. The plasma membrane of a cell breaks down​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) the Golgi apparatus is removed from the cell, all sorts of vesicle formation will stop. The Golgi apparatus is mainly responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging of proteins and lipids into vesicles to be delivered to targeted destinations.

c) If the plasma membrane ruptures or breakdown then the cell will not be able to exchange material from its surrounding by diffusion or osmosis. Thereafter the protoplasmic material will be disappeared and the cell will die.

a) When placed in water, dry apricots swell up due to endosmosis. On being transferred to sugar solution, they shrink due to exosmosis.
