1. False — a weakened immune system generally produces fewer (or less effective) antibodies, not more.
2. False — “abnormal cells steal nutrients from healthy cells” is not a general consequence of immune weakness; while cancer cells can outcompete others for resources, this statement is misleading and not a direct effect of immune suppression.
3. True — a weakened immune system makes the body more susceptible to infections and some diseases.
4. False — mistaking healthy cells for pathogens is autoimmunity (the opposite error); a weakened immune system more commonly fails to attack pathogens adequately rather than perceiving pathogens as healthy.
