Living beings are a complex set of chemical elements joined together. Structures constituting them are in harmonious disposition which enables them to work in a concerted manner to give way to numberless cellular events, which preserve internal communication among molecules which require and bear energy. In the same manner, living beings receive messages from the environment. They then translate them in a coordinate and specific manner, and thus elicit responses which allow the development and reproduction of different forms of life.
