Nephrons are the filtering structures of the kidneys. The
kidneys contain millions and millions of these tiny filtering structures that
are responsible for cleaning the blood. Nephrons are responsible for removing
excess water, wastes, and other substances in the blood that are not needed by
the body. They also return necessary substances (e.g. sodium, potassium,
phosphorus) whenever the body runs low in supply.
If these nephrons are damaged, blood will not be properly
filtered. As a result, the kidney will have different diseases and this might
lead to kidney and multiple organ failure.

Answer:
Explanation:
1. The beam emitted travels along a straight path and it is divergent in nature. It has its radius increasing progressively as the distance away from the source of light increases.
2. It would be observed that the region where the bulb is positioned has denser light beam. This gets fainter towards the edges of the beam and away from the bulb.
Answer:
A) It uses less energy to make something from recycled materials than from new materials.
Explanation:
When a recycled material is used to make a new product, it conserves energy because the recycled materials have already been processed once; so making something from it for the second time uses less energy-intensive than the first. For example: Making new aluminium from old products uses 95% less energy than making it from scratch.
Hence, the correct answer is "A)"
<span>Yes. Not only does Peterson's Solution work with preemptive scheduling, but it was designed for that very case. In fact, when scheduling is non-preemptive, there is a possibility it might fail. For example, in a case where 'turn' is initially 0, but process 1 runs first, it will loop perpetually, and never release the CPU.</span>
