Mon-Day 2
AP Chem - we looked at the mathematical relationship between the forward and reverse rate constants of a given reaction, and their relationship to the equilibrium constant of the same reaction.
We showed the logic between the rate constants and their respective activation energies, which lead to the different forward and reverse rates of reaction until the differences in the product and reactant concentrations in the rate laws cause the forward and reverse rates to be equal. So, rate constants will never be equal, but rates can be because a rate is the PRODUCT of rate constants and that reactions reactant concentrations to particular exponents.

Bio - we continued the immunity unit by detailing each possible cause of a disruption in homeostasis i.e. cause of disease, with specific examples of each. We looked at the THREE major lines of defense against pathogens provided by the immune system.
We discussed pathogen and their specific foreign antigens.
