If the organization of a cell is destroyed due to some physical or chemical influence, what will happen?
Share
A well organized cell maintains homeostasis, i.e., constant internal chemical composition. It is, therefore, able to perform basic functions such as respiration, obtaining nutrition, clearing of waste, forming new proteins, etc. If the organization of a cell is destroyed, it will not be able to maintain homeostasis and thus will not be able to perform above said basic functions and such a cell will ultimately die.
