Answer 1

alveoli and nephron both have different functions because alveoli is the part of lung and it provide the surface area for respiration and secondly it also provide immunity like it releases the fluid "Surfectant" that kill the bacteria and other harmful pathogen present in lungs

while nephron is the part of kidney and its main function is reabsoption of useful substances present in urine secondly most important harmone "Vasopressin or ADH" is secreted by adrenal cortex that is also the part of nephron..

Answer 2

ALVEOLI IN LUNGS :-

2. It is made up of one celled thick wall which contains extensive network of blood capillaries.

3. Alveoli are the site of gaseous exchange in lungs. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place between the blood flowing in capillaries which surround the alveoli and gases present in the alveoli.

NEPHRONS IN KIDNEY:-

1. Nephron are long tubular structures.

2. It is made up of glomerulus , Bowman's capsule and a long renal tube.
