@iPwnBunnies Please help me!!!

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

These all seem kinda wrong to me. Maybe I'm not reading this correctly lol.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@iPwnBunnies which seems like the best answer?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

You know, a quick web search on the two types of cells wouldn't hurt, either.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

I did but I posted the question on here because i'm not sure which seems right...

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Ok, then, the best answer should be C, since galvanic, or voltaic, cells can generate electric current.

thank you so much! :)
