One of the first modern chemotherapeutic agents was sulfonamides which acts as a competitive inhibitor to an enzyme involved in folate synthesis. 
Sulfonamides are sulfa drugs that were very first modern antimicrobial drugs that are synthetic. Human beings can not make folic acid themselves and need enzymes to synthesize it. Microbes can, they have the enzymes for it. We target those enzymes with sulfonamides and trimethoprim-competitive inhibition.
It is supplied to cells in high concentrations to make sure enzyme is constantly occupied rather than the true substrate of the enzyme.

The pH scale measures the acidity of a substance. It is a negative logarithmic scale. A pH of 3 has a hydrogen ion concentration
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a pH 2 solution has a <u>10000 times</u> greater hydrogen ion concentration than a pH 6 solution.

Explanation:

The pH scale is a measurement used to describe the acidity of a solution, and this acidity is given by the concentration of H+ (hydrogen ion) in said substance. A solution with a greater concentration of H+, is more acid than a solution with a smaller concentration of H+ and, therefore, has a lower pH. Given that the pH scale is a negative logarithmic scale, a solution with a pH of 3 has a ten times greater H+ concentration than a solution with a pH of 4.

A pH 2 solution has 10 times more H+ ion concentration than a pH 3 solution, 100 times more H+ ion concentration than a pH 4 solution, 1000 times more H+ ion concentration than a pH 5 solution, and 10000 times more H+ ion concentration than a pH 6 solution.
