Answer: yes but

Without water, cell membranes would lack structure, and without proper membrane structure, cells would be unable to keep important molecules inside the cell and harmful molecules outside the cell removing all of the water would destroy the cell.

Answer: Yes, but this will completely destroy the cell. One of the ways to do this is osmosis.
