Autotroph population Predator population What a system is designed for...it's job/role When matter can enter and leave a system. Systems effect other systems. Objects and energy will leave one system and enter another system. When matter cannot enter or leave a system, but energy can enter/leave The system or object under study. Not a representation When energy moves from one system (object) to another system (object) When matter or energy moves inside of a system
