We know that rocks and rabbits are made of the same particles and fields, but when breaking down rocks and rabbits into their components, what is it that is removed such that a rabbit becomes non-life?

And if one of the 250 million transistors in my CPU fails, what is it that has been removed that it becomes a piece of scrap?

How about phrasing it another way? What is it that is added to minerals, water and air that make them alive when ingested by a plant? Is it anything other than their configuration?
