Why would most living things disappear from Earth if plants didn't undergo photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the name when plants make food. Plants are the only living things that can make their own food. Therfore if plants did not photosynthesise they would die this would result in the animals that eat the plants to also die. This would also eventually lead to the death of humans.

Hope this helped.

With a few minor exception such as energy from geothermal vents, all life either directly (plants & algae) or indirectly (eats things that use photosynthesis) gets energy to make food from solar energy. So simply put if plants did not use solar energy to make food, there would be nothing to feed the the herbivores. Once they starved there would be no meat for the carnivores. Once all the plant and animal bodies decayed completely there would be no food for decomposers such as fungi and bacteria.

they would have had to evolve with another source of food, or different style of getting it.
YES in the e-z answer NO since life finds a way

uh, dur?

-there would be nothing to convert the CO2 we breathe out back to oxygen(eventually killing humans and animals)
-fish would die because the smaller fish eat algae, and if the smaller fish starve, food sources for other fish are gone too

first, they make food for others, two, there would be a build up of co2, and we would all die.
