Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Complete the paragraph by applying the laws of conservation of energy and matter to the interactions
between Earth's subsystems.
According to the law of conservation, both energy and matter are
in natural
systems. Earth as a whole is a
system, in which energy and matter can move from
one subsystem to another.
As energy and matter are transferred between subsystems, different forms of matter and energy
interact. For example, during photosynthesis, carbon is transferred from the
the biosphere, while radiant energy from
is being converted into chemical energy,
During this process, the amount of carbon remains constant, but some of the radiant energy is
transformed into
energy
