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.

Which of the following is true of vacuoles?
Damm [24]
These are all true- Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive but they can even store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination. They’re also larger in plants than in animals

Phalloidin is a toxin from a toadstool (mushroom). You are studying actin dynamics and the effect of phalloidin. You add G-actin
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Dissociation of actin subunits occurs.

Explanation:

When we add phalloidin to a solution containing G-actin, the phalloidin binds to actin filaments more tightly as compared to actin monomers which leads to a decrease in the constant rate of dissociation of actin subunits from the ends of the filament. This dissociation stabilizes the actin filaments through the prevention of filament depolymerization. So we can conclude that addition of phalloidin to actin leads to stabilizing of actin filaments.
