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