In short, this is what makes something Alive,
(and this is straight off of Sesame Street)
- Eat
- Breathe
- Grow
That's it, if you are in doubt go through the checklist, plants, bacteria, animals, weeds, ameobas...ALL eat, breathe and grow!
A nonliving thing can either be something that WAS once living or can just be an inanimate object. (ie: a pillow or a calculator.) Therefore, a nonliving thing is simply something that does not have animal or plant cells in it. It can also be a person, animal, or plant that has died after maybe living a full life or an uneventful one, that is extremely unimportant. Living things breathe, need food/water, and shelter. They also have animal (if they are an animal), human (if they are human), or plant (if they are plant) cells. It is as simple as that.
