I need a biology review. Wish I were back home with access to 3rd-grade books and to my 6th-grade niece. I'm sure she could easily answer these questions for me:
What is a living thing? Is a plant a living thing? If it is, why?
Anybody out there who knows the answer?

I sorta knew the answer but I checked on the web (ah, read... cheated...)
What Makes Something Alive?
• Living organisms
– 1. Take in energy and/or nutrients from the
environment
– 2. Can sense and respond to the environment
in controlled ways
– 3. Can grow and reproduce
– 4. Contain DNA and/or RNA
– 5. Show homeostasis: the ability to regulate
the internal environment to keep it within
certain limits
– 6. Have the capacity to evolve.
