Light has little or no effect on water and carbon dioxide, unless a catalyst such as chlorophyll is present. In that case, the light energy is absorbed and the water and carbon dioxide are converted to glucose and water. This is photosynthesis.

Can a plant survive if water or carbon dioxide or light energy we're missing?

No because without water it who be de-hydrated, and if it had no Light energy, then there would be no growth of the plant, and last but not least it it had no Carbon dioxide, it would not have anything to, keep it from absorbing, both Light energy and water.
