What is Life?
"Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that do have biological processes from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate… The current definition is that organisms maintain homeostasis, are composed of cells, undergo��metabolism, can grow, adapt to their environment, respond to stimuli, and reproduce."
