Is electric fan a living thing?

What is the process known as that helps all living things survive?
It is called cellular respiration, all living things do it but plants also do photosynthesis whick materials are made through cellular respiration.

Currently this is not true - all living things on Earth at this time were created by other living things through either asexual or sexual reproduction. However, prior to the formation of life on the planet, it is hypothesized that abiogenesis took place to create living organisms from non-living materials.

Living things obtain and use materials and?
energy.
Do living cells have a high resistance to electric current?
yes
Are exoskeleton living?
I've gone through the internet and have yet to find an answer to this. But just from my current knowledge, no, they are not living.
Why are non-biodegradable materials harmful to the environment?
Due to the current population figures and projections, we cannot continue to use and dispose of materials or we will be living in our neighbor's garbage. The use of non-biodegradable materials must be severely restricted.
Living cells maintain what by controlling materials that enter and leave?
gradients are an example. Electric gradients are controlled by the transport of Na+ and K+ and H+, etc.
How did Alternating electric current change the American standard of living?
List 3 ways the alternating current system improved the standard of living? 1. 2. 3.
Are minerals made up of living materials?
No! The previous answer was very wrong! Minerals are natural, non-living materials that are found naturally in the Earth, and is inorganic, meaning that they were never living things. Living materials would be like fossils.
