Answers (1) Jewels Vern. Energy is sometimes defined as capacity to do work. But work is defined as disordering energy. So energy is capacity to do disordering energy. That is a circular definition. Energy is not a physical unit. It is a philosophical concept and an accounting technique used to analyze mechanical and chemical exchanges. In nuclear physics it is defined as a wavelength of light, in biology it is a synonym for metabolism, and in public utilities they say energy when they mean connectivity. Anybody who uses the word in any other context does not know what he is talking about.
T he term species is defined as a group of organisms which interbreeds under natural circumstances, producing viable, fertile offspring, and which is reproductively isolated from other groups.This definition is known as the Biological Species Concept.hapter 4: Speciation and Phylogeny What is a species? The term species is defined as a group of organisms which interbreeds under natural circumstances, producing viable, fertile offspring, and which is reproductively isolated from other groups.
The species category, defined by a concept, denotes the rank of a species taxon in the Linnaean hierarchy. Biological species are reproducing isolated from each other, which protects the integrity of their genotypes. Degree of morphological difference is not an appropriate species definition.
