The muscular contractions are wave-like

The muscular contractions are entirely involuntary

This action is called peristalsis. It is powered by the expansion and contraction of the smooth muscles present in the esophagus. It is controlled by the sympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system hence the movements are involuntary.

What type of energy powers the cell growht
77julia77 [94]
Complex organic food molecules such as sugars, fats, and proteins are rich sources of energy for cells because much of the energy used to form these molecules is literally stored within the chemical bonds that hold them together. Scientists can measure the amount of energy stored in foods using a device called a bomb calorimeter. With this technique, food is placed inside the calorimeter and heated until it burns. The excess heat released by the reaction is directly proportional to the amount of energy contained in the food.
