According to the theory of vitalism all the living substances are special and are distinct from the non-living substances, that is, they comprise a unique entity within themselves. This soul or entity distinguishes them from the non-living components.  

However, the theory was rejected when urea was taken out successfully from a non-living matter by Wohler, proving the fact that the biological constituents can be extracted from a non-living source. The modern scientists now believe that the living things are just more composite than the non-living substances.
