If a cell's mitochondria were destroyed it would die. Mitochondria are the power houses of the cell and without energy, necessary reactions could not take place .
If a mitochondria stopped working the cell would not have its respiratory function such as to use carbon dioxide,water, and energy in which the cell needs to survive so the cell would eventually stop moving and slowly die out with no nutrience and energy.

It would no longer have its supply of O2 derived ATP. For some cells it would have little or no effect, but your brain cells would die within seconds, and your cardiac cell would fail (i.e. not be able to pump blood) in the same time frame - but they (the cells themselves) could take up to 4 hours to die. Note that if this occurred to enough cardiac cells that you would have died - even though the heart was still "alive" ... for a little while.

your ATP wouldn't be made anymore. also you wouldn't have energy to do anything. later it will affect your cells of course and the tissues in your body
