		<title>HONClBrIF, and Other Chemistry Lessons Long Forgotten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chemistry, surprisingly enough, plays a large role in the study of Biology. That is why Chapters 2 and 3 of our Biology textbook are devoted to a review of the smallest building blocks of our world. Today in class, our minds were refreshed on the basics of chemistry, particularly atoms and how they bond together.
Unlike [...]]]></description>

		<title>AP Biology: October 9, 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today in AP biology we finished our notes by talking about how salinity concentration plays a role in the reaction rate of enzymes.  We learned that the more salt concentration there is the more cations and anions there are. This leads to a disruption in the attraction between the charged amino acids. This in return [...]]]></description>
