Justine is a 14-year-old who is a star player on her high school's soccer team. The team is currently 17-2 this year and has a chance at going to the state championship. Over the past few days, Justine began feeling ill with noticeable signs of a high fever. Her parents decided to take her to the emergency room to get looked at.

However, one specific organelle is malfunctioning; specifically, this organelle is not binding to the vacuoles and therefore cannot release the enzymes necessary to break down the bacterial cell walls. Identify the malfunctioning organelle so doctors can begin providing the proper…
