Peristalsis is a process that involves coordinated muscle contractions in the digestive tract to move food along. The energy required for peristalsis comes from ATP, which is produced through the cellular respiration process in the form of adenosine triphosphate. This energy is used to power the muscle contractions that propel food through the digestive system.
What else can I help you with?
What term describes energy that is required to get chemical reactions started?
Activation energy describes the energy that is required to get chemical reactions started.
In what part of the urinary tract is peristalsis used?
The muscular layer in the ureters uses peristalsis to move the urine along to the urinary bladder
Is more energy used to melt ice or freeze water?
The energy required is the same. It is the energy required to rearrange the molecules from one state to another.
What is the The energy required to start an enzymatic reaction?
The energy required to start an enzymatic reaction is called the activation energy. It is the energy needed to initiate the chemical reaction that the enzyme facilitates. Enzymes lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, making it easier and faster for the reaction to take place.
What moves food from the mouth by muscular waves?
peristalsis.... the reason why food travels through the esophagus into the stomach is that it is moved along by contractions of smooth muscle surrounding the esophagus. This is known as peristalsis
Food moves through the digestive tract by wavelike contractions called?
Peristalsis is a series of involuntary smooth muscle contractions along the walls of the digestive tract that move food through the digestive tractperistalsis
What is the muscular contractions of the esophagus?

The squeezing motion that pushes food through the digestive system is called what?
Peristalsis.
Smooth muscle propels food through the alimentary canal by a process called?
The process in which muscles propel food through the alimentary canal is called peristalsis.
Is energy released or is energy required for evaporation?
required
Which process depends on energy from respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process that depends on energy from respiration. This process involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP, the main energy currency of cells.
Muscular contractions of digestive tract?
this is called Peristalsis
What is absence of peristalsis?
achalasia (absent or ineffective peristalsis)
Peristalsis is example of what type of muscle?
Peristalsis is the contraction of the digestive muscles. Peristalsis is the contractions that occur in the smooth muscles of the body.
What is the name of Wave like process that moves food down the esophagus?
Peristalsis is the term for the wavelike motions of the esophagus.
What are the wave of muscle contractions that pushes food through the digestive system?
Smooth muscle in the walls of the digestive tract contract and form a movement called peristalsis.
