Might no be the right answer: no because the body water and vitamins to survive also.
Life could not exist because producers require carbon dioxide to live. Producers are our vegetables and without them the food chain would collapse. =)
Not "life as we know it". Oxygen is poisonous, as all Scuba divers know; below about 30 feet depth, pure oxygen will kill you, and a few people react badly to oxygen in normal pressures.
And without nitrogen and carbon dioxide, plants would be unable to live.
No....as you see for life not only oxygen is needed for instance we need food for that we have to depend on plants.here plants need CO2 to prepare food which they get from air....!!
no, because you need the other air to recycle and you need carbon dioxide ??
yes it can
Planet earth doesn't "need" anything, nor does life on the planet. Some bacteria can exist by chemicals. HOwever for our existence and through others species existence plants takes away CO2 in the atmosphere and also replenishes it with oxygen. We need oxygen to breath. All animals need oxygen.
We wouldn't know because if space didn't exist earth wouldn't exist and if earth didn't exist we wouldn't exist! So there you go there is your answer.
Most of the energy received by Earth comes from the sun, without this energy, life could not not exist.
Maybe, although we haven't found any planets with life-supporting conditions on them yet.
air (oxygen) does not exist in space. that's why astronauts have suits with oxygen tanks.
No. The oxygen would be too concentrated and we would die.
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.

No. The resources may perhaps exist that could be utilized to develop that ability, but it doesn't exist now.
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.
a gas

Yes. Earth's atmosphere is about 21% oxygen. Without it, the vast majority of life we see, including humans, could not exist.

Oxygen did not exist in the early atmosphere. Early life took in carbon dioxide and sunlight, exhaling oxygen as a waste gas. After a few million years, this waste gas became a significant part of the atmosphere, enough so that new opportunistic species could use it for respiration.
nothing on earth would exist
