I typically use the criteria of metabolism, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation to the environment to determine if something can be considered living. If an entity exhibits most or all of these characteristics, it is likely living.

something that is not living
No, something that cannot reproduce yet cannot be considered alive according to the biological definition of life. Reproduction is a fundamental characteristic of living organisms.
they have to follow the eight characteristics of life: one more cells, follows organization, it grows and develops, reproduces, reacts to stimuli, requires energy or has a metabolism, maintains homeostasis, and can adapt and evlove.
No, viruses do not require living space because they are not considered living organisms. They are simple genetic material contained within a protein coat, and they replicate by hijacking the machinery of host cells.

All living organisms have cells that make up their life formations. If the organism WAS living, than it had cells, if it is living, then it had cells too!
Scientifically living refers to creatures that have biological functions, plants animals and even fungi are considered living.
The six (6) chararistics of something living are....................Matabolism, Cells, Reproduction, Feallings (emotions),Growth, andMovement!!!!

something that is not living
It's a very interesting question and the answer is not altogether obvious. I think a defensible argument would be: Anything with a reproductive system that is genetics-based is living; all else is not.
No, something that cannot reproduce yet cannot be considered alive according to the biological definition of life. Reproduction is a fundamental characteristic of living organisms.
