Answer:
Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that have biological processes.
living=having life; being alive; not dead: living persons. in actual existence or use; extant: living languages. active or thriving; vigorous; strong: a living faith.
Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate.
Life is the aspect of existence that processes, acts, reacts, evaluates, and evolves through growth (reproduction and metabolism).
The crucial difference between life and non-life (or non-living things) is that life uses energy for physical and conscious development.
Life is anything that grows and eventually dies, i.e., ceases to proliferate and be cognizant.
