Wouldn't pH neutralization play a fairly significant role in biology as well?

Not high school level biology.

*stares at Major Tom*
...Please tell me where you were schooled. I never want to set foot within a hundred miles of that place.

You'll pardon me if I blame you anyways for failing to seek out basic job-and-survival scientific knowledge on your own. Right?
Right, stopping now before this ventures into Flame & Burn...

Let's make a compromise. Dip him in an acidic substance, rinse with water, then dip in alkaline solution.
At least, from what I remember, water works. Am I wrong?

Chemistry isn't my strongest subject so I'm pretty sure i didn't know it or knew it and forgot I have a bad memory so this isn't that uncommon with me. You still need to know the basics of chemistry. The mechanics or how an acid breaks down certain compounds? Maybe not. That acids and bases neutralize each other? Pretty basic shit. May want to invest in a decent tutor so that you aren't utterly fucked in college. |

May want to invest in a decent tutor so that you aren't utterly fucked in college. Any biology degree worth a damn will include at least a year of general chemistry. A semester to a year of organic chemistry is not uncommon. And you will learn some biochemistry in some form or other just like you'll learn some biogeochemistry if you do ecology. A biologist doesn't necessarily have to know a lot of chemistry, but every biologist should know the basics and it is very useful to know more than the basics. |

Hell, you'll need it if you ever work near dangerous chemicals, ever. Any acid can be neutralized by a base, and any base can be neutralized by an acid. Important to know when working with strong bases like lye or bleach.
