Inert matter, living matter and intelligent matter

Matter, as the Oxford English Dictionary says, is a physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit. We can separate the matter in three different kinds: inert matter, living matter and intelligent matter.

What's the significant difference between living matter and intelligent matter? Maybe there's just a slight difference. Maybe some of the animals and plants we see as just living matter are also intelligent. Maybe viruses and bacterias are intelligent. And maybe not everybody is intelligent.
