It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Characteristics of Living Things", which asks students to match seven pictures to the
seven characteristics of living things.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this based on typical content for such worksheets. Below is a common version of this activity with explanations.

🔍 Common 7 Characteristics of Living Things:
1.
Growth – Living things grow and develop.
2.
Reproduction – Living things produce offspring.
3.
Response to stimuli – Living things react to changes in their environment.
4.
Respiration – Living things take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide (or other gases).
5.
Nutrition – Living things obtain and use food for energy.
6.
Excretion – Living things remove waste products.
7.
Homeostasis – Living things maintain a stable internal environment.

Now, let’s analyze each picture (based on standard versions of this worksheet):
---
🖼️ Picture 1: A plant growing taller
-
✔ Characteristic: Growth
- 💡 Explanation: The plant is increasing in size — a sign of growth.
---
🖼️ Picture 2: A person running or reacting to something (e.g., a loud noise)
-
✔ Characteristic: Response to stimuli
- 💡 Explanation: The person is responding to an external stimulus (like sound or danger).
---
🖼️ Picture 3: A person eating food
-
✔ Characteristic: Nutrition
- 💡 Explanation: Eating provides energy and materials needed for life.
---
🖼️ Picture 4: A cell dividing (mitosis) or a baby being born
-
✔ Characteristic: Reproduction
- 💡 Explanation: Creating new organisms or cells is reproduction.
---
🖼️ Picture 5: A person breathing or lungs exchanging gases
-
✔ Characteristic: Respiration
- 💡 Explanation: Taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
---
🖼️ Picture 6: A person urinating or sweating
-
✔ Characteristic: Excretion
- 💡 Explanation: Removing waste products from the body.
---
🖼️ Picture 7: A diagram showing temperature regulation (e.g., sweating when hot, shivering when cold)
-
✔ Characteristic: Homeostasis
- 💡 Explanation: Maintaining balance in the body (e.g., temperature, pH, water levels).

✔ Final Answers:
| Picture | Characteristic |
|--------|----------------------------|
| 1 | Growth |
| 2 | Response to stimuli |
| 3 | Nutrition |
| 4 | Reproduction |
| 5 | Respiration |
| 6 | Excretion |
| 7 | Homeostasis |

Bonus: Fill-in-the-blank at the bottom
Sometimes the worksheet has:
> M. _______
> R. _______
These are likely abbreviations:
-
M = Movement (sometimes listed instead of response)
-
R = Reproduction
But since "movement" isn’t always one of the core 7, it's more likely:
-
M = Metabolism (which includes respiration and nutrition)
-
R = Reproduction
But in most cases, the
7 key traits are as above.
