摘要

A major property which is shared by all living beings is their capacity to generate (at least part of) their own material anew. This is seen in various key processes, including metabolism, growth, the birth of new cells in multicellular organisms, and others. Even homeostasis requires the continuous synthesis of new chemicals, which replace the previous ones.
