Cell can service without energy tell if true or false

The answer is joseph is observing the colour of the reaction mixture to see whether proteins are present in the given solution.

Mitochondria produce atp, a high energy compound. atp is used for all sorts of enzyme-mediated reactions, such as making proteins/nucleotides/etc, certain compounds cross the cell membrane, muscles move, etc.  without this source of energy, a cell will die. it will not be able to repair itself, defend against pathogens, etc.
