Final answer:

Crystals, although they can grow, do not exhibit all characteristics of life such as reproduction, making them distinct from living organisms.


Explanation:

The organisms that fail to follow the characteristics of life and are not considered alive are:

  • a growing crystal

Crystals can grow but only in specific conditions, unlike living organisms that require different growth processes. While crystals may exhibit growth behavior, they do not fulfill the criteria for life such as reproduction or response to the environment.
