True/False

 

6.            Physicists define energy as “the ability to do work” or “the capacity to move or change matter.”

a.            True

b.            False

 

7.            Nature is ultimately a system of solar energy capture and energy flows, and energy and matter cycling and recycling.

a.            True

b.            False

 

8.            Human social systems are biotic systems and thus are ultimately dependent on energy capture and exploitation.

a.            True

b.            False

 

9.            Increasing complexity in human societies correlates with increasing energy capture and increasing complexity in energy exchange networks.

a.            True

b.            False

 

10.          Increasing complexity in human social arrangements through time leads to increasing specialization and differentiation in statuses and roles, and this in turn leads to an increasing intensification of hierarchies and stratification.

a.            True

b.            False
