Can't, it's a false statement. Live existed for > billion years before photosynthesis.

What are the life functions of tree?
1)The tree respirates in the absence of light 2)the photosynthesis which is the base for life on earth
What process makes life possible on earth?
Photosynthesis.
Why do you need photosynthesis?
without photosynthesis there would be no life on earth... therefor you would not exist.
Why would life be impossibleon earth in the absence of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the root source of all foods on Earth. Amongst all organisms inhabiting Earth, plants are the only ones which are able to produce their own foods through photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, plants would die as they can't produce foods for themselves. When plants die, animals that eat plants will also die as they lose their food source. Subsequently, other animals which eat these plant-eating animals will also die as they, too, lose their food source. Eventually, every organism will die from starvation.
How might photosynthesis help flourish life on earth?
Oxygen is the main component of carbon dioxide, which plants use in photosynthesis. Oxygen is a by-product of photosynthesis. Oxygen is the element that makes most life, plant and animal, possible on Earth. So, photosynthesis not only helps life to flourish. For most organisms, it makes life possible.
What would happen if plants disappeared from Earth?
If plants disappeared from earth, all life on earth depending on photosynthesis would disappear.
What would happen if earth didn't have gravity?
If the earth had no gravity it follows that gravity would be absent from any mass. In the absence of gravity life would not exist.
If CO2 was not on earth what will earth be like?
If there was no Carbon Dioxide on Earth it would be very different then what it is now. Firstly plants need CO2 for photosynthesis, without CO2 plants could not complete photosynthesis and would die of starvation (photosynthesis is a plants way of making food). Secondly CO2 is a gas that keeps the Earth's temperature at the correct level, without CO2 the Earth would be much colder and therefor unable to support life.
Why life is not possible in earth?
Life is very possible on earth, if it were not, then we would not exist.
Would there be less oxygen in the air if photosynthesis stopped happening on earth?
yes
Does oxygen continue to be released if carbon dioxide is not available?
It depends on what you mean by "Continue to be released" Photosynthesis cannot function withot carbon dioxide, so in its absence all plant life would die. However, the earth would receive very smal, amounts of oxygen from meteortes, etc.
Do plants photosynthesize or cellular respirate?
This is kind of a guess, but I would say photosynthesis since some of the first organisms on earth were bacteria that did photosynthesis.
