The amount of gravitational pull helps determine the gases that can form an atmosphere around a large body in space. So the mass of an object also determines the density of these gases. Note that several factors come into effect for a large object to sustain their gases if present.

Mainly, the mass of a planet doesn't matter, considering many planets are made up of gas, and how in different situations, atmospheres can be destroyed (The Sun burnt off Mercury's Atmosphere). However, in some cases, the planet can be in a good situation on the galaxic map, and have great conditions for an atmosphere, such as Earth. In which case, the mass of an object can attract a smaller object, causing gravity. Therefore, the bigger the mass of a planet when in right and specific conditions, the more atmosphere it can attract, if there is any floating by the planet.
If it is bigger it will have more gravitational influence and therefore gather more gases

Sarah recently learned that O2 is found in the Earth’s water bodies. She was amazed to know the proportion of O2 found in the oc
Mamont248 [21]

It has been found that the rainforests are accountable for about one-third, that is, 28 percent of the oxygen of the Earth, however, the majority of the oxygen, that is, about 70 percent in the atmosphere is generated by the marine plants. The left-over two percent of the oxygen comes from other sources.  

The majority of the oxygen comes from the tiny plants in the ocean known as phytoplankton, which lives near the surface of the water and drifts with the currents. Similarly to plants, they perform the process of photosynthesis, that is, they utilize carbon dioxide and sunlight to prepare food, oxygen is the by-product of photosynthesis.  

However, the concentration of the dissolved oxygen, which the water can hold relies on the salinity and temperature of the water. The cold water can withhold more oxygen in comparison to warm water and fresh water can hold more oxygen in comparison to salt water. So, the warmer and saltier the water is, the less will be the oxygen dissolved in it.

1: Describe the events of the muscle stimulation and contraction starting with the influx of Ca at the synaptic knob (of the neu
meriva

Answer:

Explanation:

motor neuron is the neuron that have it's connection to a muscle at the neuromuscular junction,. At his junction, a synaptic cleft that has a motor end plate is formed by the activity of the terminal called "synaptic terminal". Diffusion of the acetylcholine across the synaptic cleft then occur which result to the sarcolemma been depolarized, as a result of the depolarization there is a output of Ca2+ and muscle contraction

The effect that botox have on the neuromuscular junction and its function is that there is interaction between Botox and neural transmission which obstruct the acetylcholine to be released, which result to paralysis of muscle.

What is used for building structures in the body they can also be enzymes?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The correct answer is - proteins.

Explanation:

Enzymes are made up of the long chains of amino acids that are linked by the peptide bonds that make a polypeptide chain known as proteins. Proteins are the building block of the enzyme and the building of thevarious structures in the body.

Enzymes are made up of two protein that also plays as the role of a biological catalyst whereas protein only plays role in forming different structure and performing functions.
