Why are toys not alive?

Toys are not alive because they lack the properties characteristic of living things, such as growth, reproduction, metabolism, and the ability to respond to stimuli.

Here are some specific reasons why toys are not alive:

-Toys do not have cells like living organisms.

-Toys lack the biochemical systems needed for metabolism, such as energy production and waste disposal.

-Toys do not grow or reproduce like living organisms.

-Toys do not respond to stimuli like living organisms due to the absence of a nervous system or sensory organs.
