Explain its significance. Check all that apply. Check all that apply. In chemical and physical processes, matter exchanges energy either as heat or work or both with the surroundings. Systems with high potential energy tend to change in the direction of lower potential energy, releasing energy into the surroundings. In the exchanges, the total energy is always changed; energy is created and destroyed. In the exchanges, the total energy is always conserved; energy is neither created nor destroyed. Systems with low potential energy tend to change in the direction of higher potential energy, releasing energy into the surroundings. In only physical changes, matter exchanges energy with its surroundings.
