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