It is a way scientists can know if something is alive or not. To be considered as alive, the object must have 5 caracteristics. The 5 characteristics of all living things are:
A non-living thing does not have a scientific name because scientific names are used to classify and describe living organisms based on their characteristics and relationships. Scientific names are given to species, genera, families, and other taxonomic categories within the living world.
Kingdom is the taxon that includes the broadest characteristics.
It's made up of one or more living cells. (It responds to its environment, requires energy input, reproduces)
a virus because they are not considered living due to the fact that they can only reproduce my attack host cells
An organism is an individual living thing. Each organism is categorized as a species, which is the most specific category of classification and means that the organisms in the species can mate and produce viable offspring, as in Homo sapiens (humans).
