Dead things are those who were once alive.

Nonliving thing were never alive (ex. rock, viruses...)

Living things are made up of units called cells, reproduce, are based on a universal genetic code (DNA & RNA), grow and develop, obtain and use materials and energy, respond to the environment, maintain a stable internal environmet and taken as a group, living things change over time.
