Life

Life refers to the condition that distinguishes living organisms from inanimate matter, characterized by growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continuous change preceding death. Living beings, such as animals, plants, and microorganisms, possess cellular structures, metabolism, and the ability to respond to stimuli. Life exists in various forms, adapted to diverse environments on Earth. It includes complex interactions within ecosystems, where organisms depend on each other and their surroundings for survival. The study of life encompasses biology, ecology, and evolutionary theory, revealing the intricate processes that sustain and evolve life on our planet.
