What outcome do you expect, if all the mitochondria are removed from a eukaryotic cell?
If all the mitochondria were removed from a eukaryotic cell, the cell would lose its main source of energy. Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration where ATP (energy currency of the cell) is produced. Without mitochondria, the cell would not be able to produce enough ATP for essential activities such as active transport, protein synthesis, movement, and cell division. Although a small amount of energy could still be produced by glycolysis in the cytoplasm, it would not be sufficient for the cell's needs. As a result, the cell would gradually stop functioning and eventually die due to lack of energy. The effect would be even more severe in highly active cells like muscle and nerve cells, which require large amounts of energy.
