what is life?

Answer 1

Life is living. Being alive. Breathing. Eating. Going to work. Paying the bills. Having a family.

Answer 2

Life is the spark that makes the chemical mix in an animal body or plant to grow and function in an organic way. All the chemicals arranged in a given order cannot be a living organism.

At another level, life is the period of time such an organism exists alive.
Life is also the quality of existence as we live on

At a metaphysical plane, life is the evidence that there is a super intelligence that governs the functioning of the Universe, with perfect order in the micro and Macro systems.

Answer 3

Life is often defined in basic biology textbooks in terms of a list of distinctive properties that distinguish living systems from non-living. Although there is some overlap, these lists are often different, depending upon the interests of the authors. Some biologists and philosophers even reject the whole idea of there being a need for a definition, since life for them is an irreducible fact about the natural world. Others see life simply as that which biologists study.

The focus of this entry is primarily the attempts to define life during the twentieth century with the rise of biochemistry and molecular biology. But this was the century that saw the rise of artificial intelligence, artificial life, and complex systems theory and so the concern includes these perspectives. Animate beings share a range of properties and phenomena that are not seen together in inanimate matter, although examples of matter exhibiting one or the other of these can be found. Living entities metabolize, grow, die, reproduce, respond, move, have complex organized functional structures, heritable variability, and have lineages which can evolve over generational time, producing new and emergent functional structures that provide increased adaptive fitness in changing environments. Reproduction involves not only the replication of the nucleic acids that carry the genetic information but the epigenetic building of the organism through a sequence of developmental steps. Such reproduction through development occurs within a larger life-cycle of the organism, which includes its senescence and death. Something that is alive has organized, complex structures that carry out these functions as well as sensing and responding to interior states and to the external environment and engaging in movement within that environment. It must be remembered that evolutionary phenomena are an inextricable aspect of living systems; any attempt to study life in the absence of this diachronic perspective will be futile. It will be argued below that living systems may be defined as open systems maintained in steady-states, far-from-equilibrium, due to matter-energy flows in which informed (genetically) autocatalytic cycles extract energy, build complex internal structures, allowing growth even as they create greater entropy in their environments.

Answer 4

Life is a drama where all humanbeings have to perform their own charectors which are desided by the god. We have no right to change the sean or script of the drama whan our carector reach the time to go back from the stage (world) the director (god) call us back. Without wast any time we must go.
So you must perform your charector well and good luck .

Answer 5

Life is nothing but sun rise in the morning and sets in the evening.

Answer 6

Life is all about how a butterfly in flight promises each of the vibrantly hued flowers to await him next morning eagerly and say a hello, because it would be his ultimate promise well honoured..

Answer 7

Hai,
Life is a living with Happy sorrow and devotion.Don't you heard about"Life Long Love"?

Answer 8

School for the soul. It begins at birth, continues through death, then you do it again via reincarnation in order to learn new things in a new life.

Answer 9

Life is Love and It is wonderful.

Answer 10

Life + love = Happy -- 1
Life – love = Sad -- 2
(Adding above two eqns. ie (1) + (2) gives)
Love and love get cancelled, so…
2Life = Happy + Sad
Then,
Life = 1/2 (Happy + Sad)
Therefore,
Life = ½ Happy + ½ Sad
That’s life…
