Question

What would happen if plasma membrane breaks down

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student, Plasma membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier between cell components and external environment. If plasma membrane ruptures or leaks down, it would result in the release of cellular components including cell organelles and cytoplasm in the external environment ultimately leading to the cell death.Regards
