How did you two get interested in these questions?
Yes, Emily and Kayla, who post from the same IP address, you should let us know if this is a homework question. There is nothing wrong with asking for help or ideas, but you should let us know that is what you are doing. We wouldn't want someone to inadvertently do your work for you, now would we? :)
Personally, I always disliked these kinds of questions (eg. what would the world be like without oxygen? which I remember from a junior high text) as "totally different" is not really a complete answer but anything more detailed is just wild speculation.
