  1. That's a very complex question, and fun to think about. I would say that the very basic definition of life is an organic compound that requires sustenance to continue functioning and growing.  Like, a fungus, or bacteria, or even human embryo.  But not a car, that requires gasoline to function, but has no "growth" functions based on getting gasoline.  


  2. Life is a very broad term, ethically, religiously and (above all else) scientifically :P

    In biology, A mnemonic is used to remember the SEVEN characteristics that a living organism is expected to show.

    Movement

    Respiration

    Sensitivity

    Growth

    Reproduction

    Excretion

    Nutrition
