Answer:

The ability to move is not a characteristic of life

Step-by-step explanation:

To say that something is alive, it has to cover the characteristics that have been determined by scientist which are:

1. Growth and development.

2.Energy metabolism

3.Homeostasis

4.Adaptation

5.Response to stimuli

6.Cells

7.Reproduction.

The ability to move is not considered a life characteristic because it is a mechanic ability.
