A The cell is unable to synthesize most proteins required for normal cell functions.
B The cell is unable to break down toxic materials and would accumulate large volumes of these materials.
C The cell is able to synthesize proteins, but the proteins would not fold properly and would not contain the correct molecular tags for export from the cell.
