Will not work. The last OS that PPC supported was 10.5 Leopard. You could put the old hard drive in an external case and access the data on another Mac.
 
My mac book 13 inch 2011 died recently. Can I boot up the old macbook pro hard drive on it? or at least be able to run Yosemite on this?
No. Support for PowerPC was dropped after Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, and even some of the older Intel Macs aren't supported by Yosemite.
