The dependent variable is... 14 Closed System 15 System Function Autotroph population When matter cannot enter or leave a system, but energy can enter/leave When matter or energy moves inside of a system Energy can change from one type of energy to another type of energy when it interacts with a system Systems effect other systems. Objects and energy will leave one system and enter another system. When energy moves from one system (object) to another system (object) The system or object under study. Not a representation What a system is designed for...it's job/role 3D smaller items, computer simulations, diagrams, pictures. When matter can enter and leave a system. Representation of the actual system For tracking energy and matter flows so that we can better understand the concept To help us understand systems better by allowing us to study it, perform experiments, etc on a smaller version of the system Predator population Prey population
