our cell is semipermeable...means that only selected substances can go into..or permeable..anything can go through..the cell membrane has no ability to stop what is entering our cell. a polyssacharide can never enter the cell because its too big ..and will never fit into the cell. while double sugars can enter but with very slow uptake... a monossacharide can easily pass through. its up to weather what the size of the nutrient is.. but a celll membrane cannot stop controlling what enters the cell

Most likely the cell would die.

This is the mechanism that many antibiotics use, they poke holes in the bacterial cell membrane effectively making it completely permeable and the bacterium dies.
