- The main function of the plasma membrane is to protect the cell from its surrounding environment.
- The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which is two layers of phospholipids back-to-back.
- If the plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down, the cell will not be able to exchange material from its surroundings by diffusion or osmosis because it acts as a mechanical barrier.
- Thereafter, the protoplasmic material will be disappeared, and the cell will die.
