Just in case one of the other jurors becomes sick, injured, legally compromised, or has a family emergency during the course of the trial. The "alternate" juror fully functions as a member of the jury right up until the jury 'receives' the case and goes into deliberation, at which time the 'alternate' is dismissed with the thanks of the court. The alternate juror does not participate in the final deliberations of the jury (unless they had been activated to fill a vacancy).
