What is the difference between living things and non-living thing?
Living things have a metabolism and use sources of energy to keep themselves from decaying. Living things can also grow, they replicate, many respond to stimulus too. Living things also have some hereditary molecules such as DNA and RNA. The smallest unit for a living thing is a cell, and all living things are made of one or more cells. Living things also evolve with time. Broader definitions of life include things that do not have a metabolism such as virus and other self-replicating molecules. Some people don't consider viruses to be alive however because they do not have their own metabolism and so can't even reproduce without using a host living cell to do that for them. Viruses are also not a cell, they're more of an organic particle with their own DNA or RNA.
What are two ways that viruses do not act like living things?
They don't have their own metabolism and they can't reproduce on their own, two reasons for which they are obligatory parasites. They have to infect other cells with metabolisms to reproduce.
