Compare and contrast open, closed, and isolated systems. be sure to discuss the exchange of energy and exchange of matter, and provides at least one example of each.

Open system - both matter and energy can transfer

closed system - only energy can transfer

isolated system - neither energy nor matter can transfer

Explanation:

1. Open system

An open system is the one in which both energy and matter is exchanged as the substance in this system is free to move. For example - Heating  water in a can without lid. Here both the energy (heat) and matter (water) is allowed to escape.

2. Closed System

In this system,  only energy transfer is possible and exchange of matter is restricted through some external constraint.

For example - when water is heated in a container with a closed lid. Here heat (energy) can escape but water (matter) cannot escape

2. Isolated System

In this system, transfer of both energy and matter is restricted by isolating the system

For example - if water is poured into an insulated container, both heat (energy) and water (matter) are restricted from heating

thinking it would be physical characteristics

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
