All things that are living hare certain characteristics. These are: Metabolism (taking in and using energy, and getting rid of waste) Reproduction (creating more of itself, offspring) Movement (can be walking or drawing energy, etc.) Adaptation (changing based on a changing environment) Response to Stimuli (doing something involuntarily based on something. example: being hungry=stimulus eating=respose)

What distinction are you make between a dead organisms and something that was never alive?

Something that has never been alive means it is a non-living thing without any life and characteristics of living organism. Whereas...... A dead organism may mean that ONCE it used to be a living organism and had all the living organism's characteristics... but all of these functions has JUST collapsed in it to happen. So, the conclusion is a dead organism has stopped to possess the characteristics of living organism, however it can't YET be classified as a non-living material. Simply it has stopped to possess characteristics like a living organism. Therefore, a dead has 1. no more nutrition -( digestion) 2. no more respiration 3. no reproduction 4. no homoeostasis and neither stimulation nor excretion. So, what may be the difference between a dead living and a non-living? Practically and also in biological point of view -NO DIFFERENCE at all. CONCLUSION: A non-alive or non-living is always an object or thing that never have any characteristics of living objects, whereas a dead object used to have all the characteristics but just stopped to have at present.
