QUESTION- Eukaryotic cells are complex in organization and structure, especially when you consider their small size. Consider the organelle contents of the typical eukaryotic cell. Select two organelles and compare them relative to structure and function. Describe what would be the specific probable effects on the cell if each of these organelles were lost.

ANSWER - 

 TWO SELECTED ORGANELLES FROM EUKARYOTES ARE Mitochondria and chloroplast

COMPARISON IN TABLE BELOW:

EFFECT ON CELL IF MITOCHONDRIA IS LOST

If there is no mitochondria in the cell of an organism then there will be no energy in the cell due to the mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell. Mitochondria is the place for respiration in the cell during which ATP is released as energy to utilized by cell for all its basic functions. If no mitochondria ,no energy, no life. Cell would die.

EFFECT ON CELL IF CHLOROPLAST IS LOST

If a plant cell lost its chloroplast, it would not be able to photosynthesize and create sugars for growth. Without photosynthesis ,there would be no food that can be breakdown to get energy out of it. S no photosynthesis , no, food, no energy . Cell would die.
