Solution

The correct statements that describe acute-phase proteins are:

  1. They are the first step of the inflammatory response and are needed for neutrophils to migrate to the site of inflammation.
  2. They bind to microorganisms and promote their phagocytosis.
  3. They are released into the blood by liver cells.

The other two statements are incorrect. Acute-phase proteins are not released after the inflammatory response subsides, but rather, they are part of the initial response to inflammation. Additionally, they are not produced in the kidney and stored in the gallbladder. Instead, they are produced primarily by the liver and released into the bloodstream.
