<span>Many planets are made of gas, and in different situations, the atmosphere can be destroyed.

The sun which is burnt measures atmosphere and in the same case planets can be in a good situation on galactic map and a great condition in the atmosphere as well as earth.
For example, the mass of an object can attract a smaller object causing gravity. The bigger the masses of a planet when it is in the right condition the more atmosphere it can attract if there is any floating on the planet. If it is big it will make a gravitational influence and gather more gases.</span>

The bigger the planet the bigger the gravitational pull of the planet , which is also stipulated in Newton Law of gravity. The bigger the planet, therefore, the bigger the atmosphere it would have. This is because its gravity is able to overcome the kinetic energy of the gas molecules (especially when heated by rays from a star they are orbiting) that would allow the gas atoms/molecules to escape into space. This is also why the large planets are all gas giants such as Jupiter.

What composes the backbone, or side pieces, of the DNA molecule?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

A phosphate backbone is the portion of the DNA double helix that provides structural support to the molecule. DNA consists of two strands that wind around each other like a twisted ladder. Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.

Why is it necessary to phosphorylate a glucose molecule, creating glucose-6-phosphate? why is it necessary to phosphorylate a gl

expeople1 [14]

It is necessary to phosphorylate a glucose molecule so as to trap glucose inside the cell, to make ATP, and to facilitate enzyme building. When insulin is released from the pancreas after a meal, it signals the tissues to uptake glucose. When glucose enters the cells via glucose transporters, there is a chance for them to leave the cell. If the body is in need of energy, and the breakdown of glucose will provide that energy, the body does not want the glucose to leave the cell and that is why the glucose is phosphorylated by ATP to become glucose-6-phosphate, which now bears a charge.

Can a plant reproduce without another plant involved? Does the rock cycle have a beginning? What are two ways carbon dioxide is

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Yes, a plant can reproduce without another plant involved.

No, there is no beginning of rock cycle.

Two ways in which carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere are burning of fossil fuels such as petrol and coal etc and respiration process.

Explanation:

This type of reproduction occurs in non seed bearing plants such as ferns and mosses etc. These plants reproduce by the formation of spores. Spore formation is a type of asexual reproduction in which only one plant is involved. In cellular respiration, glucose molecule is broken down and energy is released with carbon dioxide gas. Fossil fuels are also responsible for the emission of carbon dioxide gas after burning in vehicles and industries.
