ELI5: Proteins, Amino Acids and other complex molecules... How do they know what to do it they aren't considered alive?

The inner mechanics of a cellular life has almost blown my mind, they move things from one part of the cell to the other, unzip and copy DNA, and a whole host of other activities. If they aren't considered alive then how do they "know" what to do and/or where to go?

They don't "know" what to do. They just "do" according to the laws of physics. It's like asking how a ball "knows" it's at the top of a hill to roll down it. It doesn't. It just rolls because of gravity and the laws of physics.

Proteins, amino acids, and other chemicals and molecules are just following the laws of chemistry and quantum mechanics.
