What is open and closed system?

Answer 1

Open systems refer to systems that interact with other systems or the outside environment, whereas closed systems refer to systems having relatively little interaction with other systems or the outside environment.

Answer 2

An open system is where the blood freely diffuses through an organisms body. As humans, we are far too large for that. We would certainly die before the oxygen and nutrients could diffuse to the inner regions. So we have a closed system of arteries and veins to convey the oxygen and nutrients to the tissues in a timely manner.

Answer 3

An open system allows for the exchange of matter and energy with its surroundings, while a closed system only allows for the exchange of energy but not matter. An example of an open system is a pot of boiling water, where water evaporates. An example of a closed system is a thermos, where heat can transfer but no matter can enter or leave.

Answer 4

A system that exchange both mass and energy with surroundings is an open system . A system that doesn't exchange matter but only energy with surroundings is closed system.
