Energy+x+Matter

__**Journal! Energy & Matter**__

1. What is the relationship between energy and matter? Energy is the invisible force that enables matter to work/move e.g. Kinetic energy causes a ball to roll and gears to rotate, which turns a machine on

2. How is energy significant to biological system? Energy is the drive biological beings depend on to survive. e.g. ADP and NADP are forms of energy a plant requires to survive.

3. Can an organism survive without the exchange of matter in its environment? No. Gases are matter - organisms cannot survive without exchange of gases

4. Are all matters living and all living organisms made of matter? No. Not all matters are living but all living organisms are made of matter

5. Can living organisms create and destroy energy? No. Energy can never be created or destroyed but only converted. e.g. In a leaf, light energy is converted into chemical energy.

6. Can living organisms create and destroy matter? No. No matter how many times you cut down matter, it will finally end up as an atom which cannot be destroyed nor created.
