It is the modern time in which information has become a commodity that is transmitted freely, easily
and quickly by using personal computer networks.
Information age
refers to all types of personal information.
“Personal data”
it is any operation/s performed upon personal data. These operations include, but are not limited to the
collection, recording, organization, storage, updating or modification, retrieval, consultation, use, consolidation, blocking,
erasure, or destruction of data.
“Processing”
what challenge of social media
Teenagers have a need to fit in, to be popular and to outdo others. This process was challenging long before the advent
of social media.
Cyberbullying:
what challenge of social media
Stalking, identity theft, personal attacks, and misuse of information are some of the threats faced by the users of social
media
Lack of Privacy:
what challenge of social media
It is popular wisdom that people today suffer information overload. A lot of information available on the internet that
spreading misinformation
Fake News
what type of biodiversity
refers to the individual variations among organisms of the same species, as well as variations
between populations that due to local condition adaptations.
Genetic diversity
what type of biodiversity
refers to the variety of species within a particular region, either in an ecosystem or the entire
biosphere.
Species diversity
what type of biodiversity
refers to the varieties of ecosystems and the interactions of these species.
Ecological diversity
what type of protocol
It is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the
production of numerous substances that are responsible for ozone depletion.
Montreal Protocol.
type of protocol
It is an international treaty which extends the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the
scientific consensus that (part one) global warming is occurring and (part two) it is extremely likely that
human-made CO2 emissions have predominantly caused it.
Kyoto Protocol.
what type of protocol
on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity is an
international agreement on biosafety as a supplement to the Convention on Biological Diversity effective since
2003.
Cartagena Protocol.
is a therapeutic technique that aims to transfer normal genes into a patient’s cells.
Gene therapy
it renew tissues so that as the body grows, or loses cells to apoptosis, injury,
and disease; other cells are produced that take their places.
Stem cells
what are the 2 Types of Gene Therapy
I. According to the way that healing genes are delivered and to which cells they are sent
Germline Gene Therapy
somatic gene therapy
what are the 3 types of gene therapy according to invasiveness
ex vivo gene therapy
in situ gene therapy
in vivo gene therapy
type of Gene therapy
I. According to the way that healing genes are delivered and to which cells they are sent.
it alters the DNA of a gamete or fertilized ovum. As a result, all cells of the individual have
the change. It is heritable—it passes to offspring.
Germline gene therapy
Types of Gene Therapy
I. According to the way that healing genes are delivered and to which cells they are sent
this therapy corrects only the cells that an illness affects. It is non-heritable; a recipient does not pass
the genetic correction to offspring.
Somatic gene therapy
Types of Gene Therapy
II. According to invasiveness
it is when cells are altered outside the body and then infused.
Ex vivo gene therapy
types in therapy according to invasiveness
It is when the functional gene plus the DNA that delivers it (the vector) are injected into a
very localized and accessible body part.
In situ gene therapy
types of gene therapy according to invasiveness
it is when the gene and vector are introduced directly into the body.
In vivo gene therapy
Stem Cell Sources
- cells are not actually cells from an embryo, but are created in a laboratory dish using
certain cells from a region of a very early embryo called an inner cell mass (ICM).
1. Embryonic stem (ES)
Stem Cell Sources
- cells are somatic cells that are “reprogrammed” to differentiate into any of
several cell types.
2. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS)
Stem Cell Sources
-are found in the tissues of fetuses, embryos and children, and
not just in adult bodies.
3. Adult or tissue-specific or somatic stem cells
it is a global phenomenon caused by burning fossil fuels in which the Earth’s atmosphere is
trapped with heat gases.
Climate change
refers to Earth’s gradual increase of temperature. It is the warming effect caused by greenhouse
gasses in the atmosphere.
Global warming
that cause global warming are carbon dioxide, methane. There are also man-made
gases such as chlorofluorocarbons, hydro fluorocarbons, per fluorocarbons, and sulphur hexafluoride.
greenhouse gasses
is one activity that causes global warming. Destroying forest land releases carbon dioxide into the
air, results to increase the level of long wave radiation and trapped heat.
Deforestation
it is a molecule that contains three oxygen atoms. It serves as a protection from the ultraviolet rays which
are very harmful to humans and plants.
Ozone
is a term that includes any kind of precipitation with acidic components like sulphuric acid or nitric
acid that fall on the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms.
Acid deposition
it is usually described as the unusual warming of surface waters also known as “warm phase”. It brings
droughts that commonly affect the agriculture and shortage of portable water to drink.
El Nino
it must be done individually and collectively in order to minimize the effect of climate change. It
is an individual and global responsibility to care for the environment as it changes contiguously.
Environmental efforts
There are many ways to minimize the effect of climate change, one way is to minimize the emission of carbon
dioxide from fossil fuels through the use of ______________ like solar, wind, or hydropower as sources of energy is
highly recommended.
renewable energy
Philippines is one of the signatories in the ________________ which is an international agreement that extends the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In 1997 it was adopted but the first commitment
period started in 2008 and ended in 2012. Developed countries committed to minimize their carbon dioxide emissions up
to 2% until 2050 to help address the problem of climate change.
