It dies.
The transport of nutrients and waste across the cell membrane would be least affected by defective receptor proteins. This is because transport proteins, not receptor proteins, are primarily responsible for moving molecules across the cell membrane.
Cell proteins are often referred to as integral membrane proteins or peripheral membrane proteins, depending on their association with the lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer barrier is primarily composed of phospholipids, which have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail that create a semi-permeable barrier for the cell.
There are four functions of proteins within the cell membrane. The four functions of proteins are active transport, cell recognition, cell communications, and are used as enzymes in the cell membrane.
Receptor proteins are typically membrane proteins, meaning they are located on the cell membrane.
Proteins leave the cell through a process called exocytosis, where they are packaged into vesicles and transported to the cell membrane. The vesicle then fuses with the cell membrane, releasing the proteins outside of the cell.

Diffusion
There are two kinds of proteins in a cell membrane: peripheral PROTEINS OR trans membrane proteins. Cell membranes are able to perform various functions only because of different membrane protein functions. Most of the membrane proteins have alpha helix structure.

Receptor proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
Proteins imbedded in the cell membrane
The cell membrane contains the membrane proteins that enable a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane. These proteins, such as receptor proteins, are responsible for recognizing and binding to specific hormones, allowing the hormone to exert its effects on the cell.

The Cell Membrane
The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer and contains proteins.
