The appropriate answer is the peristaltic muscle muscle contractions.
Peristalsis, involves involuntary movements of the longitudinal and circular muscles, primarily in the digestive tract but may take place in other hollow tubes of the body, that occur in progressive wavelike contractions. Peristaltic waves occur in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

<span>The correct answer is peristaltic muscle contractions.
</span>  Peristaltic muscle contractions include contraction and relaxation of smooth muscles that produce a peristaltic wave, which propels the bolus (mix of food and saliva which travels down the digestive tract). Muscles contract behind the bolus to prevent it from being squeezed back into the mouth and the rhythmic contractions work to rapidly force it into the stomach.

write a paragraph describing the impact Carbon on our global temperatures include the terms carbon sink carbon Source ocean acid
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect caused  by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the earth's lower atmosphere. A release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by carbon sources such as fossil fuel burning increases the greenhouse effect hence increased global warming. Another effect of higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere is oceans acidification.  The oceans will absorb more carbon dioxide and form more carbon acid hence lowering the pH of the waters. To alleviate this phenomenon, carbon sinks need to be protected such as forest because they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as carbohydrates in their biomass.

Describe how lymph nodes and organs help the immune system fight pathogens.
I am Lyosha [343]

The defense system of the human body is made up of entire organs and vessel systems like the lymph vessels, but also of individual cells and proteins. The inner and outer surfaces of the body are the first barriers against pathogens (germs). These surfaces include the skin and all mucous membranes, which form a kind of mechanical protective wall.

Several things support this protective wall:

<span><span>- The body’s own antibacterial substances can disable different pathogens from the environment at an early stage. A certain enzyme found in saliva, the airways and tear fluid destroys the cell walls of bacteria.
</span><span>
- Many pathogens that are breathed in get stuck to mucus in the bronchi and are then moved out of the airways by hair-like structures called cilia.
</span><span>
- Most pathogens that enter the body together with food are usually stopped by stomach acid.
</span><span>
- Normal flora, harmless bacteria that reside on the skin and many mucous membranes in the body, also help to protect the body.</span></span>

The cough and sneeze reflex can also help to remove pathogens.


Hope this helps (:

Storage polysaccharides, like starch and glycogen, often contain over a million glucose units. The energetic cost of synthesizin
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Glucose present as monomers within the cell will exert more osmotic pressure than a single glycogen molecule, resulting in endosmosis and the lysing of cells.

Also, the presence of free glucose molecules will result in increase in weight of the liver due to lack of efficient packing as in glycogen as well as the association ofnthe glucose molecules with water molecules.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomer units linked to Each other by α-1,4-glycosidic binds. α-1,6-branches arises at about every 10th glucose residue in the straight chain. Thus animals more glucose molecules to be stored within a much smaller space, thereby incresing the bulkiness of glycogen. Glycogen molecules are insoluble in the aqueous medium of the cell because it doesn't have enough free polar groups to participate in hydrogen bonding with water and are stored as granules and therefore do not affect the water potential or osmotic balance of the cell.

On the other hand, glucose molecules are highly soluble in water because it has many free polar -OH grours that form hydrogen bonds with water. If the glucosyl residues in large numbers of glycogen molecules were replaced with an equivalent number of molecules of free glucose, the free glucose will exert a high osmotic pressure inside the cell, causing the entry of water in the cell by endosmosis resulting in swelling and lysis ofnthe cell. Also, the space occupied by these free glucose units within the cell will be much larger than that of glycogen whichmenables efficient packing ofthe glucose molecules.
