How would the life of human being be if there was no plant life on the earth?

If there was no plant life on earth, there would be no human life, or animal life of any kind.

Also, since plants produce oxygen for heterotrophs (organisms that consume food to produce energy), there would be no oxygen for us to breathe and we would suffocate.
