A.) Matters - Matter is anything that occupies space and has rest mass (or invariant mass). It is a general term for the substance of which all physical objects consist.Typically, matter includes atoms and other particles which have mass. Mass is said by some to be the amount of matter in an object and volume is the amount of space occupied by an object, but this definition confuses mass and matter, which are not the same.Different fields use the term in different and sometimes incompatible ways; there is no single agreed scientific meaning of the word "matter," even though the term "mass" is better-defined.

Energy - Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, electrical, or other forms. Producer - An autotrophic organism capable of producing complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules through the process of photosynthesis (using light energy) or through chemosynthesis (using chemical energy). The first trophic level in a food chain in which it serves as a food source for consumers or for higher trophic levels. Consumer - An organism that generally obtains food by feeding on other organisms or organic matter due to lack of the ability to manufacture own food from inorganic sources; a heterotrophy. Decomposer - (ecology) An organism whose ecological function involves the recycling of nutrients by performing the natural process of decomposition as it feeds on dead or decaying organisms. Ecosystem - An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air, water and mineral soil), interacting as a system.Ecosystems come in various sizes but usually encompass specific, limited spaces (although it is sometimes said that the entire planet is an ecosystem.

Ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms, and between organisms and their environment.

Thermo dynamics - Thermodynamics is an experimental science based on a small number of principles that are generalizations made from experience. It is concerned only with macroscopic or large-scale properties of matter and it makes no hypotheses about the small-scale or microscopic structure of matter. From the principles of thermodynamics one can derive general relations between such quantities as coefficients of expansion, compressibilities, specific heat capacities, heats of transformation, and magnetic and dielectric coefficients, especially as these are affected by temperature. The principles of thermodynamics also tell us which of these relations must be determined experimentally in order to completely specify all the properties of the system... Thermodynamics is complementary to kinetic theory and statistical thermodynamics. Thermodynamics provides relationships between physical properties of any system once certain measurements are made. Kinetic theory and statistical thermodynamics enable one to calculate the mangitudes of these properties for those systems whose energy states can be determined.

B.) 1st law of thermo dynamics - The first law of thermodynamics was expressed in two ways by Clausius. One way referred to cyclic processes and the inputs and outputs of the system, but did not refer to increments in the internal state of the system. The other way referred to any incremental change in the internal state of the system, and did not expect the process to be cyclic. A cyclic process is one which can be repeated indefinitely often and still eventually leave the system in its original state.

2nd law of thermo dynamics - The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that (again in a closed system) energy goes from a usable form to a less usable form. Things run downhill, flywheels slow to a stop, useful kinetic energy becomes useless heat. No physical process, no machine, is ever 100% efficient. Energy is not lost, but for all practical purposes, it is lost, as it is no longer usable.

To confuse this issue somewhat, physicists have come up with a measure of this loss of usable energy, called entropy. Another way of stating the Second Law is that entropy (unusable energy) tends to increase. Things run down, entropy goes up.

The Second Law also applies to communications and information theory. In these fields, information tends to be lost, and order tends to decrease. Entropy is then a measure of the loss of information and order. This loss of order also applies to physical systems, but can be confusing. A snowflake seems to have much more order than the moist air that it came from, even though it has lost energy in becoming a snowflake. It turns out that the order was there all along. The water molecules had to freeze together for us to see that order.

Security - The business environment is dependent on security as a form of ethical leadership. Security is the backbone for business. Effective communication can impact the business and security in a positive manner. The goal of security is to create structure to help maximize success, good organization, and productivity.
