"What is Life After All and What Makes It Possible?"

Living organisms are built out of cells, which serve to segregate the organism from the environment. Cells across the kingdoms of life share common processes to acquire energy from the environment to grow, interact, and reproduce. These shared qualities raise the question: how do we scientifically define "life"?
