All species have fundamental drivers, reasons to live and reasons to reproduce, continuing life (food, water, sex). Food, water, shelter, sex, clothing, disease, predators, death, weather conditions, social (connections with other beings), territory, differences: along with all the repercussions/side effects of each reason, good and bad. Main drivers for survival: food - appetite, obesity, anorexia, depression, addiction, can last 30 days without, water - thirst/dehydration, saline, can last 3-5 days without, sex - species activity, necessary for reproduction, death - disease, predators. Cells make all living systems & have the same wants/needs/drivers as any and all living species. The reason for all our natural wants & needs, resulting in the actions we take in order to survive. Water is used to promote all chemical reactions in a cell. Food is metabolized (broken down) to produce atp. Proteins, carbs & lipids (lipids give the most energy) Atp promotes chemical reactions (atp = energy)
