Life

Birth means when a baby animal comes out of its egg, or out of its mother after pregnancy. It is sometimes thought of as the beginning of life.

Life is mainly a biological idea that has no simple definition. The study of life is called biology and people who study life are biologists.A lifespan is the average length of life in a species. All life is directly or indirectly powered by solar energy. Without energy from the sun no life could exist.

All known life on Earth is based on the chemistry of carbon compounds. Some say that this must be true for all possible forms of life throughout the Universe;others describe this position as "carbon chauvinism".

Death is the end of life in a living system, or in a part of it.
