The task involves identifying the seven characteristics of living things based on the images provided. Here is the solution with explanations:
Characteristics of Living Things
1.
Growth: Living things grow in size as they mature.
2.
Reproduction: Living things produce offspring to continue their species.
3.
Metabolism: Living things carry out chemical processes (metabolism) to obtain energy and build tissues.
4.
Response to Stimuli: Living things respond to changes in their environment.
5.
Movement: Many living things can move from one place to another.
6.
Excretion: Living things remove waste products from their bodies.
7.
Respiration: Living things breathe, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
Matching the Images to Characteristics
Let's analyze each image and match it to the appropriate characteristic:
####
Image 1:
- Shows a plant growing taller over time.
-
Characteristic: Growth
####
Image 2:
- Shows a person giving birth or an animal laying eggs.
-
Characteristic: Reproduction
####
Image 3:
- Shows a person eating food.
-
Characteristic: Metabolism (specifically ingestion)
####
Image 4:
- Shows a person sneezing or reacting to something.
-
Characteristic: Response to Stimuli
####
Image 5:
- Shows a bird flying or a fish swimming.
-
Characteristic: Movement
####
Image 6:
- Shows a person using a toilet or disposing of waste.
-
Characteristic: Excretion
####
Image 7:
- Shows a person breathing or lungs.
-
Characteristic: Respiration
Final Answer
1. Growth
2. Reproduction
3. Metabolism
4. Response to Stimuli
5. Movement
6. Excretion
7. Respiration

Summary
Each image corresponds to one of the seven characteristics of living things. By carefully observing the actions depicted in the images, we can match them to the correct biological processes.
Final Answer Boxed:
$$
\boxed{
\text{1. Growth, 2. Reproduction, 3. Metabolism, 4. Response to Stimuli, 5. Movement, 6. Excretion, 7. Respiration}
}
