A living thing has to have:
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity
Cells
Growth
Reproduction
Excretion
Nutrition

Is glass classified as living dead or non living thing?
Glass is classified as a non-living thing. The terms "living" and "dead" are used to describe organisms. Living things have characteristics such as growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and metabolic processes. When they no longer exhibit these characteristics, they are considered dead. Glass, on the other hand, is an amorphous solid material that does not have the characteristics of living organisms at any point. It doesn't grow, reproduce, or undergo metabolic processes. It's simply a non-living material made primarily from silica (derived from sand), soda ash, and limestone.
