Description

Life is a quality that distinguishes matter that has biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from matter that does not. It is defined descriptively by the capacity for homeostasis, organisation, metabolism, growth, adaptation, response to stimuli, and reproduction. All life over time eventually reaches a state of death and none is immortal. Many philosophical definitions of living systems have been proposed, such as self-organizing systems. Viruses in particular make definition difficult as they replicate only in host cells. Life exists all over the Earth in air, water, and soil, with many ecosystems forming the biosphere. Some of these are harsh environments occupied only by extremophiles.

உயிர் (Life) என்பது உயிரியல் நிகழ்வுகள் அமைந்த புறநிலையான உருப்படிகளின் சிறப்பாகப் பிரித்துணர முடிந்த பான்மையாகும். இந்த உயிரியல் நிகழ்வுகளில் குறிகைபரப்பலும் தன்நிலைப்புறுதியும் அடங்கும். இறப்பாலோ அல்லது அவற்றுக்கு அப்பான்மைகள் இயல்பாகவே இல்லாததாலோ இந்நிகழ்வுகள் அமையாத புறநிலையான உருப்படிகள் உயிரற்றன அல்லது உறழ்பொருள்கள் எனப்படும். பல்வேறு உயிர்வாழ்தல் வடிவங்கள் நிலவுகின்றன. அவை தாவரங்கள், விலங்குகள், காளான்கள், முகிழுயிரிகள், தொல்லுயிரிகள், குச்சுயிரிகள் என்பனவாகும். இந்த வரன்முறை நச்சுயிரிகளையும் நச்சுயிரகங்களையும் வாய்ப்புள்ள தொகுப்புயிரிகளையும் உயிர் வாழ்வனவாக வரையறுக்க முடிந்ததாகவோ அல்லது வரையறுக்க இயலாததாகவோ அமையலாம். உயிரியல் உயிர்வாழ்தலைப் பற்றிய முதன்மை அறிவியலாகும். என்றாலும் மற்ற அறிவியல் புலங்களும் இப்புல விளக்கத்துக்கு உதவுகின்றன.
