The seven characteristics of all living things are:
1. **Cellular Organization**: Living things are made up of one or more cells, which are the basic units of life.
2. **Metabolism**: Living organisms undergo chemical processes that provide energy and enable growth, reproduction, and maintenance of cellular structures.
3. **Homeostasis**: Living things maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.
4. **Growth and Development**: Organisms grow and develop according to specific instructions coded in their genes.
5. **Reproduction**: Living things have the ability to reproduce, either sexually or asexually, to ensure the continuation of their species.
6. **Response to Stimuli**: Living organisms respond to environmental stimuli, which may include changes in light, temperature, or other factors.
7. **Adaptation through Evolution**: Over time, living organisms can adapt to their environments through genetic mutations and natural selection, allowing them to survive and reproduce more effectively.
