Chronic kidney disease is when your kidney is not functioning properly. Kidneys contain filters called nephrons. It is the their job to filter the blood of waste products and extra fluid. As a result, your body flushes the waste out as urine. The most common causes of chronic kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. If your blood vessels contain a high concentration of sugar and cholesterol, the nephrons would take the exhaustive work. In the long run, if you keep eating unhealthy food, the kidney could no longer catch up. Thus, resulting to chronic kidney disease.

Fill in the blanks to complete the sentences about why Earth's atmosphere is important to living things. Earth's atmosphere prov
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Earth's atmosphere filters out harmful radiation from the sun.

Explanation:

The sun is earth's star and sunlight helps light up and warm the earth and also helps in the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight on the other hand, produces harmful rays called Ultraviolet radiation or UV rays.

These ultraviolet radiation is dangerous to our skin and ultimately our body as a whole. Fortunately for us, the earth's atmosphere has a protective layer called the Ozone layer. The Ozone layer serves to filter out and block the harmful ultraviolet radiation and prevent it from reaching the earth, thereby protecting us.

Sadly though, the Ozone layer is getting depleted by human activities which emit harmful gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Activities such as oil drilling, automobile emissions, destruction of forests etc. These activities affect the Ozone layer leading to it's gradual disappearance and letting in the harmful UV rays. A phenomenon referred to as global warming.
