so they can survive
the characteristics all liveing things need are DNA, cells, grow and develop, reproduction, respond to stimuli, energy.
They are made of cells and need energy. They respond to their environment and can reproduce, and they can also grow and develop.
They need to respire, obtain energy to develop, excrete, reproduce, respond to the (changes in) environment and will grow eventually die.

All living things have cells, the ability to reproduce, the need for energy, and the ability to grow and develop.

Considering that plants are also living things we all need oxygen, so all living things breath.
Energy: Living things require energy to carry out various biochemical reactions and maintain life processes. Homeostasis: Living things need to regulate internal conditions to maintain a stable internal environment. Reproduction: Living things need to reproduce to ensure the continuation of their species. Growth and development: Living organisms must grow and develop to reach maturity and function properly. Response to stimuli: Living things need to be able to respond to changes in their environment to survive and thrive.
Things which are not alive, which do not have the characteristics of living things: the ability to grow, the need to be nourished, the ability to reproduce.
Living things will grow, metabolize, reproduce, respond to stimuli and adapt to their environment. Non-living things may do one or more of these things (for example a crystal may grow) but will not do all five.
They need to respire because they need to grow, produce and repair.
