Smooth muscle is the type of muscle tissue responsible for propelling food along the digestive tract.

Smooth muscle is a type of muscle tissue that can be found in the walls of hollow organs of the body such as the digestive system, urinary tracts, tubes such as blood vessels and reproductive system. Smooth muscles contracts involuntarily and allows the walls of organs to move. The layer of smooth muscle present in the digestive system helps to break down food and propel it along the tract. Food substances and liquid moves from one organ to the next through the muscle action.

Morning commuter traffic in cities contributes to ____ smog. In this type of air pollution, a mixing of ____ from certain plants

azamat

Answer:

photochemical

hydrocarbon

Explanation:

Morning commuter traffic in cities contributes to photochemical smog. In this type of air pollution, a mixing of hydrocarbons from certain plants, nitrogen oxides from cars, and UV radiation from the sun results in a variety of pollutants, such as ground-level ozone, which can cause coughing and breathing problems.

Photochemical smogs are caused by the photochemical reaction of hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides in the lower atmosphere with sunlight playing a major role. The reaction of the hydrocarbon with the nitrogen oxide in the presence of light leads to the evolution of ozone gas while nitrogen oxide has the capacity to react with the sunlight on its own to produce nitrogen dioxide. This result in the formation of smog

How many paths through which charge can flow would be shown in a circuit diagram of a parallel circuit? more information is need

Tasya [4]

Answer: More than 1

Explanation:

A parallel circuit is defined by having more than one path through which current can flow. This is in contrast to a Series circuit where the current flows through just one path.

Even though there are multiple paths for the current to flow through, the current flowing through all the paths must add up to the total current that is being supplied from the source.
