Question

suppose a plant cells cell membrane becomes nonfunctional. predict what would happen to the cell and justify your answer. the cell would lose its shape the cell would continue to function normally the cell would lose control over what enters and leaves, possibly leading to cell death the cell would stop photosynthesis

Explanation:

The cell membrane is crucial for regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Without a functional cell - membrane, the cell can't maintain proper internal conditions, which can lead to cell death. It is not directly related to the cell's shape - maintaining structure (cell wall in plant cells) and not directly responsible for photosynthesis which occurs in chloroplasts.

Answer:

The cell would lose control over what enters and leaves, possibly leading to cell death
