The Cell eventually Dies.......

Explanation:

Plasma membrane: a.k.a The Cell Membrane
[The Plasma membrane is the cell membrane you are referring to..]

  • The Plasma membrane is like a wall which separates the constituents of cells(Cell Organelles,etc) from the surroundings.

  • It is a selectively permeable membrane which allows the exchange of only certain substrates through it.

  • Exchange of important substrates are carried out by the Plasma membrane.

If the Plasma membrane gets ruptured

The Constituents of the Cell gets exposed to the surroundings i.e, they spill out of the cell.

The Cell now can't exchange materials through the cell membrane.

Since it could not maintain the basic metabolic functions that are needed for the survival,
It dies...........
