Which outcome results when an electrical potential threshold across a lipid membrane containing concentrated NaCl exceeds its dielectric strength?

💡 Explanation

Membrane rupture occurs because exceeding the dielectric strength initiates dielectric breakdown; this leads to localized ionization via impact ionization from the intense localized field, therefore creating conductive pathways and forming pores, rather than the other selective changes within the membrane.
