Principles of Thermodynamics and Energy Systems Quiz

The term "termodinamics" refers to the study of the functioning of systems that exchange energy with their surroundings.

There are three types of termodinamic systems: isolated, closed, and open.

The first principle of thermodynamics states that energy can be converted from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed.

The first principle of thermodynamics applies to an isolated system.

The principle of open thermodynamics states that energy in an open system can be exchanged with the environment.

The principle of closed thermodynamics states that energy in a closed system can only be exchanged with the environment

In thermodynamics, the internal energy of an open system is the sum of the energy of its constituent molecules.

The first principle of thermodynamics states that the internal energy of a closed system is constant.

In an open system, the internal energy is the sum of the energy of the molecules in the system.

The internal energy of an organism is the sum of the energy of the food it consumes and the energy it releases as waste.

Organisms use energy from the environment to stay alive.

The first principle of thermodynamics can be applied to organisms if they are considered to include energy from both mechanical and electrical sources.

Organisms take in energy from the environment and release energy in the form of heat, light, and chemical reactions.
