8335411448UniverseThe system and its surroundings together.0
8335411449SystemAll the reactants and products, solvent, and immediate atmosphere >> everything within a defined region of space.1
8335411450Isolated systemIf the system exchanges neither matter not energy with its surroundings.2
8335411451Closed systemIf the system exchanges energy but not matter with its surroundings.3
8335411452Open systemIf system exchanges both energy and matter with its surroundings.4
8335411453Two ways in which living organisms derive energy from their surroundings?1. They take up chemical fuels(glucose) from the environment and extract energy by oxidizing them. 2. They absorb energy from sunlight.5
8335411454First law of thermodynamicsIn any physical or chemical change, the total amount of energy in the universe remains constant, although the form of the energy may change.6
8335411455Photosynthetic cellsAbsorb light energy and use it it to drive electrons from water to carbon dioxide, forming energy-rich products such as glucose, starch, and sucrose. And releasing O2 into the atmosphere.7
8335411456Nonphotosynthetic cells/organismsObtain energy by oxidizing the energy-rich products of photosynthesis and then passing electrons to atmospheric O2 to form water, carbon dioxide, and other end products.8
