Open system and closed system

Answer 1

Ludwig Bertalanffy describes two types of systems: open systems and closed systems. The open systems are systems that allow interactions between its internal elements and the environment. An open system is defined as a "system in exchange of matter with its environment, presenting import and export, building-up and breaking-down of its material components."[1] For example, living organism. Closed systems, on the other hand, are considered to be isolated from their environment. For instance, thermodynamics applies to closed systems. The idea of open systems was further developed in systems theory. For instance, open systems in systems theory encourage a non-representational and non-referential posthumanist approach that actualize complexity of reality in a non-deterministic framework.

Answer 2

Open system receive feedback from outside its environment whereas close can not receive feedback from their environment

Answer 3

An open system is one that can exchange both matter and energy with its surroundings. A closed system can exchange energy with its surroundings but not matter.
