Best Answer

No, for different reasons.

Plants create oxygen through a process called photosynthesis, which is crucial to survive. They also produce food for herbivores, which, in turn, is food for carnivores.

Humans themselves do not use photosynthesis, but because humans depend on plants, as well as other animals that eat plants, in order to live, no, humans could not live without photosynthesis. Unless plants had another way to make food for themselves, humans could not live without photosynthesis.


Why can plants survive without animals but animals not with plants?

Plants CAN survive without the help of animals. Animals play a part in a plant's life by either two ways: seed reproductive transport (1), or/and fertilizer(2). For transportation, animals, such as birds, can help by eating a berry off of a berry plant. When they travel away from the area and produce waste from the foods, the seed droppings are in the waste material, which lands onto soil and soon another berry plant will grow. The other ways is a little more complex; plants, for example, grass, can get their soil more nutrients by having other animals such as cows to produce more waste. This manure contains rich ingredients to help the grass grow better. Overall, plants CAN survive without the help of animals. But if they DO get help, such as transport or soil nutrients, they have more chance of living longer.

Can plants and and animals survive without bacteria?

No. They could not under the current regime of life on Earth. Bacteria, in their symbiotic, detrivorous, and other roles are critical to the life functions of plants and animals.
