- Imagine a cell can perform exocytosis, but only minimalendocytosis. What would happen to the cell?a. The cell would secrete all its intracellular proteins.b. The plasma membrane would increase in size overtime.c. The cell would stop expressing integral receptorproteins in its plasma membrane.d. The cell would lyse.arrow_forwardStatement 1: The direction of diffusion of a solute across a membrane is determined by its concentration gradient and always moves toward equilibrium.
