Question

White blood cells normally detect chemical signals during infections. If their membrane receptors are defective, what happens?
Question 5 options:

They cannot generate enough energy to power their movement toward infection

They immediately divide uncontrollably and begin forming cancerous growths

They cannot detect or respond properly to the chemical signals guiding defense

They stop making ribosomes, preventing protein production inside the cell

Answer 1

They cannot detect or respond properly to the chemical signals guiding defense.

Membrane receptors on white blood cells bind chemokines/cytokines and other signals that direct chemotaxis and activation; if those receptors are defective the cells can't sense or respond to infection signals.
