Peristalsis is a series of muscle contractions. These contractions occur in your digestive tract. Peristalsis is also seen in the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder.

Peristalsis is an automatic and important process. It moves:

Food through the digestive system
Urine from the kidneys into the bladder
Bile from the gallbladder into the duodenum
Peristalsis is a normal function of the body.

Answer:

Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract. ... There, the food is churned into a liquid mixture called chyme that moves into the small intestine where peristalsis continues. Stretching out a piece of intestine will make it easier to see the wave-like motion

Which feature is found in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells?
Bingel [31]


The correct answer is B - nucleoid.

The nucleoid is a region in a prokaryotic cell that houses the main DNA material of the cell.

In contrast to eukaryotic cells with a nucleus, prokaryote have a nucleoid where the genetic material can be found. The nucleoid is different from the nucleus in eukaryotes in that the genetic material is not enclosed in a membrane to separate it from the cytoplasm.

The nucleoid usually contains  only a single chromosome which has the cell DNA.
