The answer is 2 times.

In parallel DC circuit the power (P) can be calculated by using the values of total current (I) and resistance (R):
P = I²R

The old power is:
Po = Io² x Ro
Io = 4 A
Ro = 0.5 ohms (Ω)
So, <span>Po = 4² A x 0.5 </span>Ω<span> = 8 W</span>

The new power is:
Pn = In² x Rn
In = 4 A x 2 = 8 A
Rn = 0.5 Ω ÷ 2 = 0.25 Ω
So, Po = 8² A x 0.25 <span>Ω </span>= 16 W

Pn ÷ Po = 16 W ÷ 8 W = 2
Thus, the new power is 2 x higher than the old power.

ipn [44]

Answer:

It depends whether you're talking about catabolism or anabolism. If you're creating new organic compounds, then it's an anabolic reaction. That way, ATP will be broken down, so as to fuel the chemical reactions. However, if you are talking about catabolic reactions, in which you aim to obtain ATP, by means of degradation of certain substances, in that case the right answer would be II.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: Receives food that the duodenum have been digesting;

And then begins the absorption of major nutrients as well as Vitamin B12 and bile salts.

Explanation: The duodenum which is the first section of the small intestine is where most of the chemical digestion takes place as well as absorption of iron, enzymes are been secreted from the gall bladder, pancreas, liver et cetera into the duodenum to help breakdown the fat and protein as well as further break down the carbohydrates.

The food then goes through the jejunum and lleum where absorption of major nutrients as well as Vitamin B12 and bile salts into the blood stream begins.
