Directions for the game: Clues to the correct organelle are
given in the word bubbles. Based on the clues, choose the
correct organelles that are at the bottom of the machine.
Drag the organelle over to the sling shot, and try to shoot
the guy that is spinning around on the fan.
Clue
Organelle
14. He seems to have lost his internal pressure.

15. He seems to be missing the core somehow.
___________________
16. He looks like he has lost all of his energy.
___________________
17. Nothing seems to be inside of him. He is normally stuffed with proteins.
___________________
18. It looks as if he can’t take care of his waste material.

19. Some ribosomes have to be attached to something to produce proteins
for use outside the cell or at the cell membrane.
