Best Answer

Living things are things that are alive: organisms that obtain energy, grow, and reproduce.

They include various kinds of animals and plants, e.g. mammals, amphibians, reptiles, bacteria, fungi.

Nonliving things are composed of compounds that are not organized into functioning organic molecules, or that are the dead remains of living things. They include such things as rocks, minerals, metals, water, and air, and fur, bones, ivory, wood, peat, gas, and oil.

* While viruses (virions) are composed of genetic material, they could be considered non-living because they do not conduct life processes unless they are within a host cell. Their proteins redirect other living cells to manufacture copies of the virus. They are complex DNA and RNA structures that can infect living things.
