Which consequence is observed during the electroporation of cell membranes?

A)Increased membrane permeability for drug uptake
B)Covalent bond stabilization within lipid bilayer
C)Reduced membrane fluidity from cholesterol depletion
D)Inhibition of transmembrane protein diffusion

💡 Explanation

Electroporation creates temporary pores in the cell membrane because it causes transient dipoles that disrupt ionic bonds and weaken its structure. Therefore, membrane permeability increases for drug uptake rather than covalent bond stabilization, which needs entirely specific conditions.
