If the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed, what effect would this most likely have on the cell?

Since the Ribosomes are often referred to as the "powerhouse" of a cell, the cell would basically shut down. And also the Ribosomes are the place where the proteins for a cell are made, so if the Ribosomes shut down, the cell won't have any proteins or energy to do all its processes.
