A person with myasthenia gravis has many fewer acetylcholine receptor proteins on the membrane of skeletal muscle cells. When compared with normal muscle cells, how would you expect this decrease in acetylcholine receptors to impact muscle contraction in response to motor neuron activity? myasthenia gravis muscle cells will contract normally myasthenia gravis muscle cells will not contract, regardless of motor neuron activity myasthenia gravis muscle cells will contract less frequently than normal muscle cells
