"Energy flows" refers to the continuous transfer of energy through ecosystems, as it is passed from one organism to another. "Matter cycles" refers to the recycling of nutrients and elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, through biogeochemical cycles like the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Together, these processes support life on Earth by allowing organisms to obtain energy and nutrients.
The law of conservation of matter and energy states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. This principle is a fundamental concept in physics and chemistry, emphasizing the importance of balance and conservation in physical processes.
Yes, matter is essentially a condensed form of energy, as described by Einstein's equation E=mc^2. This equation states that mass and energy are interchangeable and directly related. When matter undergoes a chemical reaction or nuclear reaction, a portion of its mass can be converted into energy.
Do you mean "matter or energy"?. Strictly not, in the sense that it never disappears. Matter can be thought of as condensed energy, via Einstein's E=mc2. Even if you "destroy" matter (mass) in a nuclear explosion, it is really converted into sound, heat and radiation, and some of the radiation may leave this planet. But it isn't destroyed.
Perhaps you should first clarify what you mean with "non-matter". There are a lot of things that could fall under that category: perhaps antimatter (which, however, is a type of matter, but with some properties to "normal" matter); energy (which, however, does have a mass equivalent, so it is also "matter" in a way); dark matter and dark energy (both of which also have mass!); empty space, etc.
A negative value for heat energy typically indicates that heat is being released or removed from a system, resulting in a decrease in temperature. This could occur during processes like heat transfer, where heat flows out of a system, leading to a decrease in thermal energy.
Do you mean Diagram? 'food chain"
Conservation of energy means that the total energy of a system remains constant no matter what the internal changes are.
In theory, according to the Theory of Relativity, matter has an equivalent energy, that can be calculated as E = mc2. That is, a kg. of matter has an energy equivalent of 9x1016 joules. This doesn't mean that all that energy can actually be converted, but in some cases it can - for example, when matter collides with antimatter, it all gets converted to energy.
Not sure what you mean, but: For practical purposes, it is sometimes convenient to treat matter and energy as two different things. On the other hand, according to the Special Theory of Relativity, every energy has associated mass - this more or less puts matter and energy on the same level.
revolving or cecurring in cycles; characterized by recurrence in cycles Rock on!!
I assume you mean when matter reacts; energy is created.There is no way for particular forms of energy (IE light energy, gravitational energy) to "change form"
it depends on the "energy" you mean, but since all matter contains energy of some form (such as the kinetic energy of its moving particles), then yes, it has energy.
it went from having potential to kinetic energy

It means that the energy demand stays the same no matter what energy source it is coming from!
