According to the law of conservation, both energy and matter are created* in natural systems. Earth as a whole is an open* system, in which energy and matter can move from one subsystem to another.
As energy and matter are transferred between subsystems, different forms of matter and energy interact. For example, during photosynthesis, carbon is transferred from the geosphere* into the biosphere, while radiant energy from the sun* is being converted into chemical energy. During this process, the amount of carbon remains constant, but some of the radiant energy is transformed into heat* energy.
The word with the stars next to them is the ones that I have filled in. Are they correct? If not please explain.
1. conserved
2.closed
3.atmosphere
4.the sun
5.electrical
shiiii idk
According to the information you provided, the words you have filled in with stars are correct.
The law of conservation states that energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, but they can be transferred or transformed from one form to another. In natural systems, such as the Earth, energy and matter can move between different subsystems.
In the example you mentioned, photosynthesis, carbon (a form of matter) is indeed transferred from the geosphere (the solid, rocky part of the Earth) into the biosphere (the part of the Earth that contains living organisms). At the same time, radiant energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
During this process, the overall amount of carbon remains constant (since matter is conserved), but some of the radiant energy from the sun is transformed into heat energy, which is a different form of energy.
