What will happen if there are defects on the proteins of the cell membrane?

01 December 2020 0 4K Report

1. What do you think will happen if defects happen in the production of integral or extrinsic proteins within the cell membrane?

2. How about if problems occur in the assembly of the phospholipid bilayer?

3. What do you think will happen if the cell survives?

4. Can prokaryotic cells persist with this aberration?

5. Can humans survive with defects in their cell membranes? Search the internet and find out if such conditions occur.
