When energy moves from one system (object) to another system (object) The system or object under study. Not a representation Prey population What a system is designed for...it's job/role When matter or energy moves inside of a system 3D smaller items, computer simulations, diagrams, pictures. Autotroph population Energy can change from one type of energy to another type of energy when it interacts with a system Predator population 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 When matter cannot enter or leave a system, but energy can enter/leave Representation of the actual system When matter can enter and leave a system.
