Question

whats missing in this animal cell?figure out which organelle is missing in each cell, write the name of the organelle and what the problem would be if that organelle was not working. then draw the missing organelle into the picture.8 animal cell diagrams, each paired with two blank boxes labeled missing and problem; the last diagrams missing box is pre-filled with nothing

Explanation:

Each cell is missing a key animal cell organelle. The problems correspond to the core function of each missing organelle:

1. Top Left Cell: Missing organelle is the nucleus, which stores genetic information and controls cell functions.
2. Top Right Cell: Missing organelle is mitochondria, the site of cellular respiration that produces energy for the cell.
3. Middle Left Cell: Missing organelle is lysosomes, which break down waste and damaged cell components.
4. Middle Right Cell: Missing organelle is rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which makes and transports proteins.
5. Bottom Left (Top) Cell: Missing organelle is smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), which makes lipids and detoxifies the cell.
6. Bottom Left (Bottom) Cell: Missing organelle is Golgi apparatus, which modifies, sorts, and ships proteins/lipids.
7. Bottom Right Cell: No organelles are missing, so there is no functional problem.

Answer:

1. Missing: Nucleus

Problem: The cell would have no control center, so it could not regulate its functions, grow, or reproduce.

1. Missing: Mitochondria

Problem: The cell would not produce ATP energy, so it could not perform any energy-requiring processes.

1. Missing: Lysosomes

Problem: Waste, damaged organelles, and foreign materials would build up inside the cell, eventually killing it.

1. Missing: Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Problem: The cell would not be able to produce or transport proteins needed for structure and function.

1. Missing: Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Problem: The cell could not make lipids or detoxify harmful substances, leading to damage or failure of cell membranes and processes.

1. Missing: Golgi Apparatus

Problem: Proteins and lipids would not be modified, sorted, or sent to their correct destinations, so cell functions would fail.

1. Missing: NOTHING

Problem: No problem; the cell can function normally.
