All life is not energy. Everything alive has/needs energy to continue to be alive [body/mass]. Therefore I agree with what Detente said earlier: all life is not energy.

My man!!!

There is indeed a huge difference! Energy puts a body into MOTION.

ALL LIFE IS NOT ENERGY! IT 'CAN’T' BE!!!

That means when, them, frog stop to move those body parts of theirs ... energy is gone and them are dead.

I'm not trying to prove or to imply anything here, I'm just trying to be logical.

And yet when you asked your question What exactly did you mean by definition of LIFE?

Happy Comming New Year Ray! yay gift

Life and Energy....

Life and EnergyLiving versus non-living is one of the most fundamental distinctions we can make. For the most part, this distinction is an easy one to make: a person, shark, or tree is clearly alive, while a rock, cloud, or stream is clearly not. Yet defining life itself is not so easy – it is, in fact, one of our all-time great puzzles. Most biology texts list a series of characteristics that all living things seem to possess: metabolism (the exchange of energy and materials with the environment, including energy/food acquisition and waste excretion), growth, responsiveness to stimuli, self-maintenance (including homeostatic [physiological balance], immunological and anti-predatory mechanisms), movement (on at least a cellular level), and reproduction. But the characteristics of life is not the same thing as what life is.

Fundamentally, life is an energy-handling process. What most clearly separates the living from the non-living is the fact that life uses energy to maintain itself. Non-life cannot do this, and – as a direct consequence – passively erodes, corrodes, and otherwise breaks-down. The multitudinous ways in which living things handle energy are subtle and complex. But perhaps the most astonishing and revealing consequence of perceiving life as an energy-handling process is the realization that the very same principles of chemistry and physics governing non-living things can be seen in living things in easy-to-understand ways.

No, of course it doesn't! That is the most illogical thing I have ever heard. A frog CANNOT stop moving unless it is thoroughly dead.

I have not given a definition. I have been refuting one that is mistaken.

‘All life is energy.’

No . . . it is NOT!

Happy New year to you too!!!
