Interest Approach What needs must be met in order to be comfortable? What needs must be met in order to survive? What determines how these needs are met?

What are the basic needs Humans basics needs include Food Shelter Clothing

Nutrients Substances necessary for life and growth Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.

Proteins are important in growth and repair.

Fats Fats provide energy for the body.

Decrease in Demand Decrease in demand decreases the price.

Preferences People make choices about food, fiber, and shelter. They have strong likes and dislikes, or preferences.
