Answer:

1000 times.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the pH is defined by:

pH=-log([H^+])

If we want to compute the concentration of hydrogen we must write:

[H^+]=10^{-pH}

Thus, for both the backyard soils we compute:

[H^+]_{pH=7}=10^{-7}=1x10^{-7}M

[H^+]_{pH=4}=10^{-4}=1x10^{-4}M

It means that:

\frac{[H^+]_{pH=4}}{[H^+]_{pH=7}} =\frac{1x10^{-4}M}{1x10^{-7}M}\\ \\\frac{[H^+]_{pH=4}}{[H^+]_{pH=7}}=1000

It means that the concentration of hydrogen at a pH of 4 is 1000 times greater than the concentration of hydrogen at a pH of 7.

Regards.

"susan is consuming 70 grams of protein per day on her 2,000-kilocalorie-per-day diet. what percent of susan's diet is protein?"
nirvana33 [79]
The answer to this question would be: 14%
Protein will give a calorie about 4kcal/gram. Then, the total calorie of protein from Susan meal would be: 70 grams * 4kcal/g= 280 <span>kilo calorie</span>.
To find the percentage you will need to divide the total calorie diet with the protein calorie. The calculation would be:

protein percentage= protein calorie/ total calorie 
protein percentage= 280kcal / 2,000kcal = 14%

What is one piece of evidence that some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotes used to be independent p
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

organelles are very similar to present-day bacteria, suggesting a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Some evidence suggests that some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts within eukaryotes were once used to be independent eukaryotes.

Endosymbiosis theory says that ancestral prokaryotic cells engulfed bacteria like cyanobacteria which with time evolved into mitochondria and chloroplast. Molecular evidence also proves that these organelles were once prokaryotic organisms because they show similar genetic makeup and ribosome type.

So these organelles are similar to present-day bacteria showing that they have a common ancestor.
