Study Notes
Module 5: Environmental Awareness
- The Philippines is prone to environmental problems due to its topography, population, and economic status.
- The country's location west of the Pacific Ocean makes it susceptible to storms and typhoons, which are exacerbated by global warming.
- Climate change is a global problem that affects people of all backgrounds.
Module 6: Energy Crisis
- The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant is a notable energy-related site in the Philippines.
- The 1970s saw the first day of gas rationing in California, marking a significant event in the energy crisis.
Module 7: The Information Age
- The pandemic accelerated scientific collaboration and innovation, leading to the creation of big scientific databases and knowledge repositories.
- Digital technology played a crucial role in pandemic preparedness and response, as seen in Figure 7.1.
- The pandemic spurred scientists from different disciplines to work together, resulting in important achievements such as the vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.
Module 8: Gene
- A gene is a fundamental unit of heredity in living organisms.
- Gene therapy is a medical treatment that uses genes to prevent or treat diseases, and is distinct from stem cell therapy.
- Wilhelm Johannsen is a notable figure in the history of genetics.
- Gene therapy has the potential to revolutionize medical treatment in the future.
- Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) have significant implications for the environment and human health.
