Biology for IGCSE & O level - Movement Into And Out Of Cells (Section 2 - No. 23)
What would happen if a cell lacked a semi-permeable membrane?
Osmosis would occur normally.
Diffusion would not occur.
The cell would be unable to regulate its internal environment.
Active transport would be enhanced.
Explanation
A semi-permeable membrane is essential for controlling the movement of substances into and out of the cell. Without it, the cell would not be able to maintain its internal environment.
