Living things contain information which defines them; all life we presently know about uses Deoxyribonucleic acid to record this information, although other methods may be possible, and living things can reproduce themselves; those are the key features of life.

What is said above is correct yet a living thing is defined also by the seven life processes;

  1. Movement
  2. Nutrition
  3. Reproduction
  4. Sensitivity
  5. Excrete
  6. Respiration
  7. Growth

If a 'thing' cannot do any one of these, It is characterized as Not Living.
