No. Water vapor in the atmosphere is needed for precipitation, without which life could not exist on land. The photosynthesis in planets depends on atmospheric carbon dioxide. Plants also depend on nitrogen compounds derived from our atmosphere's nitrogen via lightning and nitrogen fixing bacteria. Carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor are also important greenhouse gasses, without which Earth would be too cold to sustain life.
What else can I help you with?
Could life exist on Earth if the air contained only oxygen?
No. The oxygen would be too concentrated and we would die.
Could life as we know it only exist on earth if air only contained oxygen?
Simplistically, if our atmosphere contained only oxygen, then any tiny spark or flame would be enough to set anything flammable ablaze. More realistically, plants need carbon dioxide, and nitrogen is needed to make proteins, an essential part of all life as we know it.

Does Earth have the industrial and technological capacity to launch a self contained lifeship that could travel to another star?
No. The resources may perhaps exist that could be utilized to develop that ability, but it doesn't exist now.

What would happen if oxygen did not exist?
Life on Earth, or at least most of it, would not exist without free oxygen. It is possible that some other form of life, based on another element, could exist in a non-oxygen environment. But none has been discovered as of now.
Where is energy from glucose contained?
Energy in glucose is contained in the chemical bonds between the atoms, mostly in the carbon-carbon bonds. during the oxidation of glucose oxygen atoms are inserted into the carbon-carbon bonds. Since the oxygen-carbon bonds exist at a lower energy level than the carbob-carbon bonds, the excess energy is released.
Is oxygen found outside earths atmosphere?
Yes. Earth's atmosphere is about 21% oxygen. Without it, the vast majority of life we see, including humans, could not exist.
Is oxygen a Lewis base?
Oxygen can exist in Lewis's basement.
Could life as we know it survive with only oxygen?
I think, no. We need oxygen and hydrogen to make water so with only oxygen and no hydrogen we would have no water and life as we know it cannot exist without water
