INSTRUCTIONS:
Please answer the following questions. Carefully consider the function of the organelle and its overall impact on the cell. Comment on each of the following to receive full credit: Items to address: Points for each item: The function of the missing organelle 3 points Its overall impact on the cell 3 points Give 2 examples of limitations of the cell (i.e. What are some things the cell could no longer do?). 7 points Describe how this would impact the cell cycle (Could it still replicate DNA? Could it still undergo mitosis?). 7 points Describe how this would impact the process of transcription and translation. 7 points 1. You have discovered a new cell that lacks mitochondria. Using the guidelines above, address what impact lack of mitochondria would have on the cell and its functions? (33 points) 2. You have discovered a new cell that lacks ribosomes.
