If a battery produced 12.6 volts, what would the current flow be for a 6 Ohm resistor
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

I = 2.1 A

Explanation:

This is physics, but I will answer here either way.

First, the battery produces a voltage of 12 V in a resistor with 6 ohm, and we want the current flow (I). We need to apply the following expression:

V = R * I   (1)

This is the Ohm's law. From here we can solve for I and:

I = V/R   (2)

Now, we just need to replace the data and solve for the current:

I = 12.6 / 6

<h2>I = 2.1 A</h2>

Hope this helps

Paneth cells ________. A. are absorptive cells in the small intestine B. secrete enzymes that kill bacteria C. are located next
dedylja [7]

Answer:  B. secrete enzymes that kill bacteria

Explanation:

Paneth cells, so-called because they were first described by Dr. Josef Paneth in 1888, are pyramidal cells, with the nucleus in the basal position, and with large granules in the apical position. Its first isolated specific product was the lysozyme, a bactericidal substance, by Alexander Flemming. These cells play an important role in innate immunity in the small intestine, producing a wide diversity of antimicrobial peptides and enzymes such as lysozyme itself, cryptidines, defensins and a lectin with bactericidal properties.
