the organelle missing is endoplasmic reticulum. the smooth ER is responsible for modifying and breaking down the acids, without the smooth ER there would be an acid build up. if there's an acid build up, it would cause bone decay. If a cell didn't have ER then the cell couldn't break down the lipids, polysaccharides, or acids.

The mitochondria is responsible for breaking down sugar molecules an order to create and release energy for the cell. Also responsible for aerobic cellular respiration. Without the mitochondria, glucose would not be broken down and made into energy which would result in muscle weakness and lack of energy. There would also be build up of glycogen because it wouldn't be broken down.

athe lysosomes is responsible for the digestion of food, and breaking down of larger molecules into smaller ones. without the lysosomes you cannot digest food or use it's energy, and waste will build up due to the inability of the intestinal cells to secrete it. this leads to severe indigestion.

the mitochondria is the organelle missing. It's responsible for the oxidative enzymes ethic break down acids, especially fatty acids. Because the acids were not broken down, they couldn't be processed so the accumulated in different places causing pain and occasional numbness in joints. of the mitochondria is not present, acids will build up causing severe symptoms
