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