All living things are made out of cells. If you are trying to determine if something is living or not by seeing if it is made out of cells, I can't help you much. The best thing I can think of is looking under a microscope and comparing it to things you know are cells.

Depends on what you mean by "living."

There are actually both... There are what you call "single celled organisms" and "multicellular organisms."

Single celled ones include many bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.

Multicellular ones include humans, animals, plants, insects..etc.

How do you know? By looking in a microscope. Usually if it's only one cell, it will be too small to see anyhow so you can also usually go by the rule that if you can see it, it's multicellular (unless you can see it because it's a colony of single celled organisms living together like mold on a piece of old food).

Scientists have studied living things for a very long time. It is scientifically proven through research that all living things are made up of cells.
