Plants and animals would become insensitive. The cell won't be able to react to surrounding's changes.

The cell would not be able to function properly and would probably soon die, as the cell wall or ECM must be permeable to allow the exchange of matter between the cell and its external environment. Molecules involved with energy production and use must be allowed entry, as well as those that provide...

The cell would not be able to function properly and would probably soon die, as the cell wall or ECM must be permeable to allow the exchange of matter between the cell and its external environment. Molecules involved with energy production and use must be allowed entry, as well as those that provide information about the cell's environment. Other molecules, such as products synthesized by the cell for export and the by-products of cellular respiration, must be allowed to exit. read less

In biology, the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a collection of extracellular molecules secreted by cells that provides structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells. Because multicellularity evolved independently in different multicellular lineages, the composition of ECM varies between multicellular structures; however, cell adhesion, cell-to-cell communication and differentiation are common functions of the ECM. The animal extracellular matrix includes the interstitial matrix and the basement membrane. Interstitial matrix is present between various animal cells (i.e., in the intercellular spaces). Gels of polysaccharides and fibrous proteins fill the interstitial space and act as a compression buffer against the stress placed on the ECM. Basement membranes are sheet-like depositions of ECM on which various epithelial cells rest. The plant ECM includes cell wall components, like cellulose, in addition to more complex signaling molecules. Some single-celled organisms adopt multicelluar biofilms in which the cells are embedded in an ECM composed primarily of extracellular polymeric substances. read less

No nutrient can enter the cell. hence no atp production, and dies due to lack of energy and nutrition.

Dear friends, Please correct me in case I am wrong. I your opinion , what should be the maximum number of students in a coaching class, so that each student can have maximum dedicated time from the attending teacher in the classroom. In present days, cost and time of coaching / tuition matters a lot . The same will be demontrated by the following two examples : Example 1 : Suppose a student pays Rs. 4000/= per month ( 26 days in a month , excluding Sundays ), One hour per day , number of student is only one, then cost of coaching per minute works out to (Rs. 4000/=X 1 Student )/(26 days X 60 min/day ) = Rs.2.56 per min. cost and he will get dedicated time of 60 min. each day to carry on his studies. Example - 2 : Suppose a student pays Rs. 2000/= per month ( 26 days in a month , excluding Sundays ), One hour per day , number of student is 30 in a class, then cost of coaching per minute works out to (Rs. 2000/=X 30 Students in a coaching class ) / (26 days X 60 min/day ) = Rs.38.46 per min. cost and he will get dedicated time of only two min. each day for his studies. The above examples shows that though the monthly fees paid by each student is just half ( Rs. 2000/= see example -2 ) in case of classroom type of coaching as compared to the individual coaching ( Rs. 4000/= see example - 1 ), but on the other side cost of coaching per min. based on true dedicated time is 15 times higher in case of classroom type coaching with mass students than single student coaching. These can be however extrapolated for any number of students in a coaching class. As a result the speed of learning process of a student will be about fifteen times slower in classroom type coaching having mass students in a class ignoring the other factors. However, it may be the choice of the students and parents which option is better for them ? Regards, Sudhansu bhushan Roy.
Sir your calculations are excellent. I would like to add few things. 1. It depends on the student / parents choice at the end. 2. It never implies that effective attention to a student is 2-3 mins, so...
