Something that lives is an entity that has as such a beginning and an end and is able to experience its being from its begin till its end, or: to feel its existence from its begin till its end.
In essence there may be no sharp dividing line between a human and an atom, both may be able to experience feelings. There may be only two sharp dividing lines: between non-existence and beginning of existence and between existence and ending of existence.
If so then everything that exists (also an atom, neutrino or photon) lives, or: everything that exists has feelings.
If you combine the extremely weak feeling of an atom with the aforementioned lack of a sharp line between consciousness and subconsciousness then an atom will have some kind of extremely weak consciousness as well.
As examples of living entities I name: humans, animals, plants, cells of (multicellular) organisms, bacteria, viruses, proteins, amino acids, molecules, atoms, subatomic particles, neutrinos and photons.
