Organelle Clue

1. _____________ No matter what I eat, I’m malnourished, Doc. I just can’t digest anything. I absorb food molecules of any size, but they just float around inside me, and never break down.

2. ______________ Thank goodness you’re here, Doogie. My organelles keep banging into one another. I sound like a junkyard. And every time I see one of those Bill Cosby Jell-O commercials, I get very, very thirsty.

3. _______________ Doctor. I feel totally run down. I eat plenty of food and get enough oxygen but I still have no energy.

4. ________________ I’m not living a full life. Doctor I try and try to reproduce but I just can’t divide.

5. _________________ Doc. I’m completely out of shape. I can’t stand up straight. I’m just a limp bag of cytoplasm.

6. __________________ I can’t seem to get it together, Doc Stuff moves in and out of me and will. Last night some enzymes wandered in and went to town on my nucleus. This morning my mitochondria tried to run off with my endoplasmic reticulum. What’s going on?
