Question

Which of the following would be most likely if the proteins embedded in a cell membrane were unable to function properly?

B)Proteins in the cell wall would then have to carry out additional functions.
C)The cell would be forced to divide as substances continued to build up inside the cell.
D)The cell would die as many substances would be unable to enter or leave the cell.
