This condition is known as lymphadema. After surgical removal of chain lymph nodes has occurred, the excess of lymph fluids in the lymph vessels might not find its way to the bloodstream as a result of being blocked or other reasons, and hence localized swelling in that area occurs as a result of addition of the fluids. In most cases, lymphadema affects only a single arm or leg, and is commonly brought on by cancer treatment that involves damging or removing lymph nodes.

Humans can take up available space, disrupt systems, or change water supplies in an ecosystem. What conclusion can you make abou
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Human activities affect the flow of energy and matter in an ecosystem and alter the energy balance in ecosystems through the unsustainable nature of what they do.  The energy flow is affected in several ways as a result of pollution, overpopulation, deforestation, burning fossil fuels, etc. Such changes have stimulated soil erosion, climate change, causing water unfit to consume, poor quality of air and so on. When humans cause a change in the energy balance, they impact the ability of the ecosystem to respond and adapt to changes in the environment. It is like getting a cut, but it never heals and grows bigger instead.

The chaparral biome is generally characterized by its terrain.<br><br><br> True or False?
Igoryamba
I believe this would be false. Chaparral biomes can have many different types of terrains. The land in a chaparral biome can be mountainous, rocky, or flat. Chaparral biomes are generally defined by their temperature and climate. They are very hot and dry, and have mild winters and extreme summers. Hope this helps.
