Explanation:

For the first blank in "Identify the effects of the disorders that weaken the immune system" (question 1):

Immunodeficiency disorders involve a weakened immune system where the production of immune cells (like lymphocytes, antibodies, etc.) or components may decrease. So the missing term here should relate to immune cells or immune - related substances. A common effect of immunodeficiency is a decrease in the production of immune cells (e.g., white blood cells, lymphocytes) or antibodies. A typical answer would be "immune cells" (or "lymphocytes", "antibodies" etc., but "immune cells" is a general and appropriate term here).

When the immune system is weakened (as in immunodeficiency disorders), the body is more susceptible to infections (caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi etc.). Since the immune system can't function properly to fight off invaders, the body becomes vulnerable to diseases or infections caused by pathogens.

Answer:

immune cells
