Question

what would have happened if there would be no plasma membrane

Open in App
Solution

Dear student.

If there is no plasma membrane, a cell will not be able to survive. Plasma membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier between cell components and external environment. If plasma membrane does not exist, there will be release of cellular components including cell organelles and cytoplasm in the external environment ultimately leading to the cell death. Moreover, communication between cell will also not take place.

Regards.
