What does this structure (～ + も + verb/adjective) mean?

Question

What does Noun-verb + も + する mean? I'm not even sure this is actually a structure. I found it in these 2 sentences:

1. 昨日のパーティーは料理もおいしかったし、雰囲気もよかった。（料理 [も] 美味しかった [し]）
2. リサはよく勉強 [も] する [し]、アルバイト [も] します。

Thank you

Those two sentences show the most basic usage of the particle も. も is a marker which means "also". From Wikibooks (emphasis mine):

The "also" marker も
も is quite simply a marker that says "also". It replaces the particles は, が and を but can also follow other particles. This can also be used to form a large list of words all acting as though one of the basic particles (は, を, or が) were affecting the whole list.

しょうねん も しょうじょ も じょせい も だんせい も にんげん です。 Boys, girls, women and men are human.

In your first example sentence, the two が were replaced by も. In your second example, the two を were replaced by も.

1. 「料理がおいしかった」「雰囲気がよかった」 → 「料理もおいしかった」「雰囲気もよかった」
2. 「リサは勉強をする」「リサはアルバイトをする」　→　「リサは勉強もする」「リサはアルバイトもする」
