If you can see a plasma membrane then it might probably be living. Also, you can further test it for presence of ATP since all living things undergo metabolism and continuously produces this molecule. If something is dead, I think ATP production stops that's why you have rigor mortis in dead people.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, try to look at it (or a part of it) under a microscope.
