Description of Life:
Living organisms are entities that utilise nucleic acids to encode information about proteins, and are dependent on a process that assembles proteins from an RNA template. This definition is intended to include viruses as well as three forms of cellular life - the Bacteria or Eubacteria, the Archaea or Archaebacteria, and the eukaryotes.
