Question

what would happen if the plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the plasma membrane ruptures or breakdown then the cell will not be able to exchange material from its surrounding by diffusion or osmosis because it acts as a mechanical barrier. Thereafter, the protoplasmic material will be disappeared and the cell will die.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• If the plasma membrane ruptures or breakdown then the cell will not be able to exchange material from its surrounding by diffusion or osmosis because it acts as a mechanical barrier. Thereafter, the protoplasmic material will be disappeared and the cell will die.

• If plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down then molecules of some substances will freely move in and out of the cells. Consequently, the cell would die due to the disappearance of the protoplasmic material.
