Sensitivity is not an essential characteristic of all forms of life. Cells, homeostasis, metabolism (energy), reproduction, responsiveness, evolution are such characteristics.

Answer: Sensitivity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensitivity can be defined as the conditions in which we observe the response of the living organism soon after it is subjected to stimuli.

This character cannot be to define where it is a characteristic of life or not because plants are also living form of life but they do not sensitive to many of the stimuli.

There are many more living forms of life that are not that much sensitive towards the stimuli.
