On what grounds can living organisms be distinguished from bodies of inanimate nature?

Scientists have identified general patterns and properties of living things. Thanks to them, you can distinguish a living creature from an inanimate one. 1. All living organisms consist of a fundamental unit of all living things – a cell. 2. All living organisms depend on energy, they must constantly receive it from the outside, but they also give it away – metabolism and energy. 3. All organisms are composed of relatively the same chemical elements in equal proportions. 4. All living organisms are capable of reproducing offspring – they reproduce in different ways. 5. An important property of living systems – heredity – the transfer of genetic material to offspring. 6. An equally important factor in all living things is variability. All living things are capable of changing and mutating in response to changing environmental conditions. 7. Living beings grow and develop – from simple to complex, from small to large. 8. Irritability – the ability of living systems to respond to an external stimulus. 9. The unity of the system – the cells of a living organism are united and do not act by themselves, they interact and exist as a single whole. 10. Openness – all living organisms are open systems – matter and energy constantly enter them, which also come out. 11. Self-regulation – the ability to maintain the constancy of the internal environment, it is also homeostasis.
