Question

A group of scientists want to observe the adaptation of a foreign fish species in a river ecosystem. To do this, they want to enclose the top and sides of a section of a river to block light and matter from entering the area. Evaluate whether this experimental system is an isolated system. Justify your answer based on the definition of an isolated system.

Answer 1

The experiment is okay since we want to know if a fish can adapt to the condition or not. In an isolated system there is no exchange of energy light or matter.
