 Scientists use special types of microscopes to view

minute nanomaterials
 During the early 1930s, scientists used electron
microscopes and field microscopes to look at the
nanoscales
 The scanning tunneling microscope and atomic
force microscope are just among the modern and
remarkable advancements in microscopy

 GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS

 It was in 1951 that the term genetic engineering

was coined by Jack Williamsen, author of the
science fiction novel Dragon’s Island.
 The general process of genetic engineering is the
deliberate manipulation of the organism’s genes,
where it may involve transfer of genes from other
organism.
 An antibiotic-resistant E. coli bacteria was created
in 1973
 GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS

 The World Health Organization defines GMO

as an “organism, either plant, animal, or
microorganism, in which the genetic material
(DNA) has been altered in a way that does not
occur naturally by mating or natural
recombination.”
 GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS

1.Pest resistance- GM plants

to resist certain pests
Ex: Bt. Corn- it has been
modified with the gene of
Bacillus thuringiensis, a soil
bacterium that produces
proteins which is toxic to
corn borers (worms).
 GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS

2. Virus resistance- GM
plants to resist certain
virus
Ex: GM papaya or rainbow
papaya. The papaya ringspot
virus is known to be
detrimental to papaya plants.
 GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS

3. Fortification- GM plants to
fortified with certain
minerals.
Ex: Golden Rice. Beta-
carotene, a precursor of
vitamin A, was introduced
through biosynthesis genes to
the rice, making the rice grains
 BENEFITS OF GMOs

 Higher efficiency in farming

 Increase in harvest
 Control in fertility
 Increase in food processing
 Improvement of desirable characteristics
 Nutritional and pharmaceutical enhancement
 Reduce the use of fertilizer and pesticide
 POTENTIAL RISKS OF GMOs

 There are inadequate studies on the effects of

GMOs to humans and the environment.
 Genetic engineering promotes mutation in
organisms which the long-term effect is still
unknown.
 POTENTIAL RISKS OF GMOs

 Human consumption of GMOs might have the

following effects:
a. More allergic reactions- food may trigger more allergic
reaction
b. Gene mutation- food may develop abnormalities and
mutation
c. Antibiotic resistance- may cause disease-causing
bacteria likely to be more antibiotic resistant.

29. This refers to the change in Global or regional
patterns attributed largely to the increased level
of atmospheric level or carbon dioxide.

30. The following are the changes in the climatic
conditions due to global warming EXCEPT
a. Rising of Sea Level
b. Increased in global temperature
c. Habitat Damage and Species Extinction
d. Increased consumption of natural resources
 GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE
 GLOBAL WARMING- refers to
the increase of Earth’s normal
temperature as a result of
greenhouse gases’ accumulation
in the atmosphere.
 Global warming is one of the
long-term changes brought by
Climate Change that includes
increase on earth’s average
 GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE
 Climate Change- refers to
long-term shifts in temperatures
and weather patterns. Such
shifts can be natural, due to
changes in the sun’s activity or
large volcanic eruptions.
 But since the 1800s, primarily
due to the burning of fossil
fuels like coal, oil and gas.

 EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING
R Rising Sea
 TheLevel
increase in Earth’s
average temperature will result
in thermal expansion of
seawater and melting of ice
and glaciers.
 The average sea levels have
risen for an over of 8 inches
since 1880 and rises 0.13 inch
 EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING
I Increase in
 Temperature
This is the result of heat-
trapping, caused by
Greenhouse gases.
 It is revealed that Earth’s
surface average temperature
has increased from 14.0 C
(1951-1980) to 14.9 in 2017
 EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING
C Changes in Water
Supply
 As it gets warmer, the amount
of evaporation increases, thus
result to higher amount of
precipitation will be
experienced.
 Philippines Angat Dam water
level continues to drop due to
climate changes
 EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING
H Habitat Damage & Species
Extinction
 Global warming also
contributes to the habitat
damage, there by reducing
organism population and
loss of biodiversity.
 GREENHOUSE EFFECT

 The Greenhouse effect is a

process that occurs when gases
in Earth's atmosphere trap the
Sun's heat. This process makes
Earth much warmer than it
would be without an
atmosphere.
 GREENHOUSE EFFECT
 During the day, the Sun shines
through the atmosphere. Earth's
surface warms up in the sunlight.
At night, Earth's surface cools,
releasing heat back into the air. But
some of the heat is trapped by the
greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere. That's what keeps our
Earth a warm and cozy 58 degrees
Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius), on
WAYS TO MITIGATE EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
