I believe the structure organelle that may be faulty is Mitochondria. Mitochondria is a cellular organelle that is involved in cellular respiration a process that uses glucose to yield water and carbon dioxide coupled with production of energy in the form of ATP. Melas meaning mitochondrial encephalomyopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes is a conditions that affects body systems especially the brain and the nervous system and muscles.
