If the ribosomes in a cell stopped working, **the synthesis of enzymes and other proteins would stop**. Ribosomes are responsible for translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins, so without functioning ribosomes, the cell would be unable to produce proteins necessary for various cellular functions.
