1 & 2

The lymph system acts like blood vessels only that instead of blood, they carry lymph. Just like certain organs as associated with the circulatory system like heart, the lymph system has such organs like the spleen and thymus.

Explanation:

When blood passes through capillaries, the blood pressure causes the blood plasma to filter through the capillary walls. This fluid then gets into the extracellular spaces of the cells and tissues and nourishes the cells. This fluid in which the cells ‘bath’ in is called interstitial fluid.  Excess interstitial fluid flows back through the lymphatic systems and back to the blood through the subclavian veins of the thoracic duct.

The lymph system has several functions. It is responsible for the removal of foreign material like bacteria because the lymph nodes have 'meshwork' that ‘sieves’ the lymph fluid and immune cells destroy bacteria and viruses.

Explain how weather,climate,and seasons could affect the biotic and abiotic factors of an ecosystem
Vilka [71]

Weather, climate and seasons are factors that limit the distribution of different species of living beings in ecosystems, influencing survival and reproduction.

<h3>What are the biotic and abiotic factors of an ecosystem?</h3>

Biotic factors are each of the living organisms of an ecosystem and abiotic factors are all non-living ones such as organic and inorganic substances in the system as well as environmental conditions.

Weather, climate, and seasons could affect these factors in altering the distribution of species, but would also decrease primary production, which would affect survival and growth.

Therefore, we can conclude that the weather, climate and seasons are factors that limit the distribution of different species of living beings in ecosystems, influencing survival and reproduction.
