Life

Life is defined descriptively by the capacity for homeostasis, metabolism, growth, adaptation, response to stimuli, and reproduction. All life over time eventually reaches a state of death and none is immortal. Life exists all over the world in air, water, and soil, with many ecosystems forming the biosphere.
The status of being alive is, in some senses, a condition. Some scholars have asserted that life is composed of the six eternal elements or the four primary humours; others, that living things have souls and non-living things do not.
