What would be the possible form of life without plants on earth?

Without plants you'd have only primitive life forms ... like the ones that congregate around hot springs deep in the oceans.
There would probably be others, such as anaerobic bacteria like the ones that cause gas-gangrene and lock-jaw.

Today's non-oxygen-breathing organisms may only be primitive because they never got a chance to develop.
The simple oxygen-breathing organisms of ancient times developed into modern people and all the animals.
If the non-oxygen-breathing organisms had not been almost wiped out when plants started 'poisoning' their atmosphere, maybe they would have been the ones who developed into 'people' and all the modern animals.
(Except that oxygen based life has more pep, so maybe not!)

Why is bee the most important animal in the world?
I'm not sure it is the most important, but it pollinates an enormous number of flowering plants. Without pollinators wild flowering plants would die off in a generation. However there are many other pollinators, including birds, man, etc. so not all flowering plants would go extinct without bees.
Why can't we survive without bees?
bees are pollinaters, so they pollinate our plants that make fruit. if they died we would not have fruit to eat.
What if plants never existed?
Plants are the basis of all living things. Animals like humans and cows, as well as bacteria need plants to live. Plants are near the bottom of the food chain, lower ranked animals use plants to obtain their nutrients, and higher ranked organisms use those organisms to obtain nutrients, and so forth. Even those at the top of the food chain (apex-predators) sometimes obtain nutrients directly from plants. Bacteria need to go through nitrogen fixation.Also, plants provide oxygen, which many organism need to live; without it, many species would perish and die at an alarming rate.So basically, Earth would go back to its simplest form, where only the slightest of organisms existed.
Where would fungi and insects fit into the nutrient cycle?
Fungi breaks down larger inorganic matter. As a result, the matter gets recycled back into the earth and can get absorbed by plants and animals.
What would happen to a honeybee colony if there were no workers bees?
Flowers and other plants would no longer be pollinated causing most plants to die off, lowering the oxygen levels on the earth killing several types of animals which leads to lower carbon dioxide killing even more plants and lowering the oxygen levels even lower until the earth reaches climax instability killing us all.... just kidding (about the killing us all part anyway).
Is the people live without plants?
Without plants, the people of Earth would die.
What is the producer primary source of energy?
The sun, it is the main souce of the all food chains , plants get their energy from sun . Without the sun life would not be possible on earth. No plants, no animals
How will the Earth rotate without moon?
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

What if there wasn't any plant on earth?
If there were no plants on Earth, there would be no alternative life. This is because of Photosynthesis; the plants breath in the Carbon Dioxide and breath out Oxygen; which we need to live, and would die without.
What do you think would happen without the sun?
Without the sun, Earth would be in darkness except for minimal light from small stars and the moon. Plants would not survive due to lack of sunlight. Without plants animals would not have food and would also die.
What would happen to us if there were no plants on earth?
Plants are the only life forms on Earth which are capable of producing fixed carbon and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight via the process of photosynthesis. Without plants herbivores would die, without herbivores carnivores and omnivores would die.If there were no plants on earth we would all be dead because plants give oxygen. There would also be no life.
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 animal exist?
It makes part of the Life evolution on Earth. As the plants also make part. Don't you think that the Earth without animals and plants would be so boring?
Why water is important substance on earth for plants and animals?
Without water, life on Earth would be impossible. Water provides one of the main ingredients, along with sunlight, for plants when going through the process of photosynthesis. Without water, plants would not be able to provide food for themselves, therefore they would die off, when the plants would die off, animals would loose a main source of food, and in turn many other species would become extinct. Water also provides energy for humans and other animals, and are an important addition to the circulatory system in humans, the digestive system, and much more. Without water, life would not be possible.
What would have happened if there were no plants on earth?
If there were no plants, humans would die, along with most oxygen-breathing species. Since plants breathe in the carbon dioxide we exhale, without them, we would die.
Why would all animals die if there were no more photosynthetic organisms on earth?
Yes, because all plants are photosynthetic, and the food chain starts with plants, so everything would die without plants.
What would life be without water?
The oceans will be empty and the aquatic animals will die. The plants will not survive without water neither we. We would all die. We need the water to drink, and if the plants die, we will have nothing to eat and nothing will be alive. The earth will look like the father of Sahara desert. The whole earth will be deserted. Without tree there will be almost no oxygen. The earth with heat very muchTHERE WOULDNT BE LIFE
