Answer:

basically Peristalsis is the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal, creating wavelike movements that push the contents of the canal forward.

it occurs in esophagus, stomach, intestines.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is typically a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Terrestrial biodiversity is usually greater near the equator, which is the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity.

Roughly how many more atp’s can be produced via the complete aerobic oxidation of glucose compared to that produced by glycolysi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Roughly 15 times more ATP can be produced via the complete aerobic oxidation of glucose compared to that produced by glycolysis alone.

<h3>What is Glycolysis?</h3>
  • The metabolic process known as glycolysis turns the sugar glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate (CH3COCO2H). The high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide are created using the free energy released during this process (NADH).
  • A series of ten enzyme-catalyzed processes make up glycolysis. the binding energy of carbs is captured. One metabolic route that doesn't require oxygen is glycolysis (In anaerobic conditions pyruvate is converted to lactic acid).
  • Glycolysis occurs frequently in various species, which suggests that it is an old metabolic route.
  • In fact, the events that makeup glycolysis and its companion process, the pentose phosphate pathway, take place in the oxygen-free environment of the Archean oceans, likewise in the absence of enzymes, and are catalyzed by metal.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Two European men and two Polynesian women settled on a previously uninhabited tropical island. All four of the settlers have brown eyes, a dominant trait, but one of the Europeans is heterozygous and carries the recessive gene for blue eyes.  No new settlers arrive,and nobody leaves the island.After a few generations,the percentage of blue-eyed individuals increases from the original zero to 25 percent.This is probably due to which of the following factors?

genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift entails when there are changes in the gene frequency which occur in a gene that is existing. From the analogy above, it is a known fact that only gneetic drift could allow such to happen as mutation will only occur with a sudden change of gene which is not the case described above
