The Answer is D. The sun's large mass causes it to have significant gravitational force, holding planets in their orbital paths. The moon does not effect this pull, as the sun's pull is much stronger than the moon's. The moon is responsible for the tides of the Earth, and it in fact rotates around us.

Answer:

The Sun's large mass causes it to have significant gravitational force, holding planets in their orbital paths.

Explanation:

Scientists have long established that the solar system is held together by the gravitational force of attraction between the bodies in space.

According to scientists, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction depends on the relative masses of the bodies. The larger the masses of the bodies the greater the gravitational force of attraction.

Hence the large mass of the sun causes it to have a large and significant gravitational pull on the planets thereby holding them in their orbital parts.

The government of a flood-prone region wants to implement some measures to reduce the risk of floods, Which method is likely to
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "preservation of wetlands".

Explanation:

Wetland are areas of lands that are saturated with water, usually comprised by marshes or swamps. Preservation of wetlands help to reduce the risk of floods because wetlands temporarily store and slow the release of stormwater. It has been reported that areas where wetland have been lost, the chances of flood increases by as much as 80 percent. The government of a flood-prone region would likely reduce the risk of floods by preserving its wetlands.

Why are fats a better source of energy than carbohydrates on a per carbon basis?.
adoni [48]

Fats are a better source of energy than carbohydrates on a per carbon basis because one triglyceride molecule yields three fatty acid molecules.

<h3>What is Fat?</h3>

This is an important energy source in the body and is usually stored in the body under adipose tissues.

They contain triglyceride with as much as 16 or more carbons in each one which helps to generate energy in a slow and efficient manner.
