This is a bit binary. It's like asking which items from the list have speed. Different things have different amounts of consciousness, from a beermat up to that paragon of consciousness, me. I don't think you can identify a magic point on the spectrum where something called consciousness comes into existence, any more than you can identify where speed comes into existence.
