Fri-Day 2
AP Chem - we applied the three-step Le Chatelier's Principle to a reaction at equilibrium that was subject to every imaginable kinetic stress. We use this Rule to predict the shift or lack thereof as the system proceeds to a new equilibrium mixture of reactants and products.
Bio -we detailed the difference between active and passive immunity, and showed several ways of acquiring each of these types of immunity.
We then discussed vaccine preparation, and the process by which a specific vaccine stimulates an immune response thus providing long-term acquired immunity against the specific pathogen from which the vaccine was made. IMPORTANT: there is NO live, full-strength pathogen in a vaccine, just the weakened/attenuated, dead form of the pathogen OR just some of the pathogen's (foreign) antigens.
