What does isolated links on a light fixture pull chain fixture prevent?

The links are separated by insulating material so there will be no electric shock hazard to a person pulling the chain if the chain happens to contact an energized electric wire.

Is a light an open or closed or isolated system?
A light is an open system. It runs on electricity, which enters the light from outside, and it emits light, which leaves. Energy is both entering and leaving the system all the time (at least, when the light is on).
How do you ground a fixture if there is no ground wire from the wall and is it absolutely necessary to use the ground wire from the fixture or can you just cover it?
If you don't have the wire then you just can't ground it. This should not be too much of a problem. Most light fixtures are not grounded and some don't even have ground wires.
What type of system would allow light to enter and exit but would keep any additional atoms out?
A closed system does not let any matter enter or exit, and no energy enters or exits the system.
Name two stages of photosynthesis?
There is the light-dependent stage, where sunlight interacts with choloropyll to set up an electron-transport chain, then there is the chemical stage, where glucose molecules are synthesized from CO2 and H2O.
What path does light take when to see an object?
When your eyes can detect images, light from a light source(s) is being reflected from the objects you see directly to your retina. For example, you are in a closed room with one overhead light fixture. The light from the light bulb is being filtered and scattered to light up some surfaces in the room. Light travels in a straight line. The shadow below a desk is where there is no direct light (no direct path to the light source). However, light scattered off the wall or chair will still reach below the desk, where you can still see a faded image. When you can see an image, bright or faded, it means that some light has reflected off that surface to reach your eyes. A bright image is seen when more light reaches that surface and reflects to your eyes than a fuzzy image. =========================

Wiring Up a Light Fixture?
Wiring Up a Light FixtureWhen remodeling a dining room, the light fixture can become a hazard if it is hung low enough. Banging one's head on a chandelier or heavy light cover hurts. If a light bulb breaks, it can become dangerous with broken glass in the eyes and under the feet. Wiring up a low-hanging light fixture takes a attention to a few details.Remove the table and chairs so access to the light fixture chain is unhampered. Set up a stepladder close enough to the fixture that it is easily worked on without the person leaning away from it. If the light covers are in the way, remove them to a safe area. Determine how much to raise the light fixture so people can walk under it safely.For raising the fixture temporarily, use a piece of baling wire or heavy construction wire. Place the wire through two of the chain links and lightly twist with a pair of pliers. When the work is over, remove the wire and lower the light fixture.If permanently raising the fixture is desired, purchase a connector link from the DIY store that matches the light fixture chain. As with the wire, attach the connector to two of the links and leave in place.This can be done with any light fixture in the home, on the patio, entryway or porch. For lights hung with cable, use a hose clamp spray-painted to match the cable. Do not over-tighten.
