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.

ira [324]

CFCs were phased out via the Montreal Protocol due to their part in ozone depletion. The atmospheric impacts of CFCs are not limited to their role as ozone-depleting chemicals. Infrared absorption bands prevent heat at that wavelength from escaping earth's atmosphere

What is the name of the particle that circles the nucleus of an atom?<br>​
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Electron

Explanation:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

He constructed the glass tube and create vacuum in it. He applied electric current between electrodes. He noticed that a ray of particles coming from cathode to wards positively charged anode. This ray was cathode ray.

Properties of cathode ray:

The ray is travel in straight line.

The cathode ray is independent of composition of cathode.

When electric field is applied cathode ray is deflected towards the positively charged plate.

Hence it was consist of negatively charged particles.

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg
