That depends on the type of cell. If the cell is anaerobic, like many types of bacteria, then absence of oxygen does nothing to them and they go about their business. If on the other hand the cell requires oxygen, like eukaryotes, then absence of oxygen will quickly kill the cell because it is unable to perform respiration.
