The correct answer is postural muscles.

Postural muscles are muscles with the function to sustain posture in the gravity field. In response to stimuli such as over-use, under-use or trauma, postural muscles tend to shorten. This type of muscles is sometimes called  tonic muscles because they have high resting tonus.

Answer:

a. Uninucleate, nonstriated

Explanation:

Smooth muscle tissue is composed of smooth muscle cells that are spindle-shaped with a single nucleus. Smooth muscles line the walls of hollow organs such as urinary bladder, uterus, stomach, intestines but also arteries and veins and the tracts of the respiratory, and reproductive systems. Smooth muscles are under involuntary control, meaning that their contraction is unconscious.

What type of molecule speeds up chemical reactions in living things?
iren [92.7K]

The best answer is  B - Proteins.

Proteins make up enzymes, or to put it another way enzymes are made up of protein. It is enzymes that speed up the chemical reactions. Enzymes are organic catalysts, substances that speed up a (biochemical) reaction but do not take part in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction.

In man, there are many enzymes. The majority of these are found in the digestive system where they greatly aid the process of food breakdown from complex molecules to simple molecules. Examples include salivary amylase found in saliva,  which begins the gradual breaking down of starch into glucose right from the moment food is placed in the mouth and mixed with saliva. Pepsin in the stomach breaks down protein.
