Answer to Question 1

The initial spin of the cloud and the conservation of angular momentum result in the cloud flattening into a rapidly rotating disk. For the disk not to fly apart requires a larger mass to produce sufficiently strong gravity to hold the disk together. Magnetic fields can hinder the collapse in a direction perpendicular to the field lines. The ionized gas is tied to the magnetic field and the field is pulled in by the gas. The ionized gas responds more to the magnetic field than it does to gravity.

Answer to Question 2

It develops a temporary atmosphere, much like a comet's coma.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
