The malfunctioning cell structure is the ribosomes. ;

If a diseased cell is unable to produce proteins, the malfunctioning structure is likely the ribosomes, as they are responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating mRNA. Ribosomes can be found in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and are essential for combining amino acids into proteins. Without functional ribosomes, cells cannot perform necessary biological functions due to the lack of protein production.
