Answer
The cell would have no energy and would die.

Explanation

  • Mitochondria release energy during cellular respiration.
  • They store this energy as ATP.
  • Without them, no ATP is made.
  • So the cell cannot do its activities and will die.
No mitochondria means no energy, so the cell stops working.
No Mitochondria? Remove all mitochondria No ATP energy made Cell cannot survive
