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

Explain what accounts for the presence of a sound channel in the ocean based on how ocean stratification affects sound travel th
hichkok12 [17]
Water stratification is a phenomenon in which regions of water with different properties, such as salinity, oxygen content, density and temperature, form barriers to mixing of the water.

These barriers also create channels, referred to as sound fixing and ranging (SOFAR) channels. In these channels, the sound has a specified path. It travels slower than normal, but due to reduced dissipation to the surroundings, the sound travels for larger distances.

When people run quickly, they can sweat profusely. Their muscles undergo movement, and the loss of energy takes place. Based on
andreev551 [17]

So, first question:

When we run, we sweat, which means we're getting hotter and hotter and our bodies need to cool down, which they do through transpiration (sweating). If we need to cool down, we need to release the heat that is in our bodies.

To run, we also need to move our muscles, which requires a specific type of energy, called mechanical or kinetic energy, which is the "energy of movement". In our bodies, we don't store that type of energy though, so we have to convert chemical energy to mechanical energy.

Answers: First option and third option.

Second question:

We know that to move we need energy, and that an amazing source of energy is sugar. In this case, the biomolecule mainly used by cells to obtain energy, is glucose, which is a type of sugar.

Answer: B.

Third question:

NAD+ stands for Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide +, an it has many functions, such as an oxidiser. In this case, in fermentation, it's related to glycolysis.

Glycolysis is a process of energy transformation used by cells, where they convert sugars to biochemical energy. The function of NAD in this case, is "housing" electrons for the process to function normally. Note that during the process, when NAD accepts electrons, it gains 1 proton which converts it to NADH.

Answer: C.

Hope it helped,
