boiling potato will let the cell membrane become more permeable or destroy it directly and let it become filly permeable? can this theory apply to all cell membrane or only potato?

if you boil any cell, the cell membrane is destroyed and it becomes fully permeable

But May I ask if we labelled the axes the other way around, with O2 release above, would the inverted graph also be right?

The proteins in the cell membrane denature at a high temperature, leaving gaps and making the membrane more permeable, so substances diffuse in or out of the cell easier.
This is applicable for all the cells.

Very important: the "independent variable" is represented on the "left hand column" of a table and x-axis in a graph.

THANKS... but aren't emulsification of fats and break down of RBC's also functions?
