small  Molecules also considered non living things. Even though they have all different forms of energy. When it comes to large size molecules, then the picture changes. Proteins are made by the sequence arrangement of amino acids. DNA and RNA are made by the sequence of nucleobases. These biomolecules undergo constant folding and unfolding (dynamics).

All protein, DNA, and RNA are considered non living things. Now let us see how living things orginated.

Living things move from one place to another externally and internally.	Non-living things cannot move from place to another by themselves.
They respire and the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in their cells. Some rare cases bacteria takes or evolve hydrogen sulphide, ammonia etc,.	Non-living things do not respire any gases.
