Respiration isn't exactly carried out by one cell, its more of a system of cells working together to produce energy.

The oxygen in the air is absorbed into the blood through alveoli in the lungs and likewise the carbon dioxide in the blood is diffused into the air in the lungs through the alveoli.

The red blood cells carry the oxygen to the areas of the body where it is needed for energy production through aerobic respiration by bonding the oxygen to hemoglobin in the cell.

Almost all cells in the body require oxygen to produce energy through the process of aerobic respiration, however the obvious example would be muscle cells as these generally do the most work at any given time.

So I would say that the types of cells that carry out respiration are probably a mixture of red blood cells, alveoli and muscle cells.

The act of cellular respiration must be performed by all living cells. Prokaryotic cells carry out many of the functions associated with respiration.

Why would glycolysis stop if neither fermentation or respiration functioned in the cell?

By there being no Oxygen during cellular respiration, then another process called Fermentation would occur which carries on with cellular respiration without oxygen molecules being present during the cycle, but the results of cellular respiration would still be the same.
