2. Ladybugs – serve as beneficial predators of plant pests.

- love to eat scale insects, white flies, mites, and aphids.

3. Reusing and Recycle – ideal for recyclable wastes, reusing pertains to using the materials
- involves transforming materials into different products

4. Composting – include placing the compost in piles out in an open space, mechanical mixing and aerating,
and ventilating the waste by using a series of aerated chambers.

5. Landfill Disposal – this involves choosing and designating spaces built into or on top of the ground wherein
wastes will be taken for isolation from the surrounding environment.

6. Open Burning – refers to the deliberate burning outdoors of solid or municipal waste, uncontaminated
biological waste, and compostable organic waste like in fields

7. Hazardous Waste Collection – the right authorities and agencies must help collect these waste

8. Hydronium ions - is an ion with a positive charge

- new type of battery that promises sustainable, high power energy storage
- uses acid as the electrolyte
Oregon State University – developed a new type of battery called hydronium ions.

9. Oil – important commodity for the economy. Power plant use oil to generate electricity that powers homes
and industries.
- mostly comes from the Middle East, a region primarily located in Western Asia

10. Oil Spill – primarily affect both the water and the living organisms that are in it.
- It can kill fishes, corals, birds and other animals that depend on the sea.
- also damage mangroves, oysters and other sea shell

11. Atherosclerosis – refers to the hardening and narrowing of the arteries. It blocks arteries that put blood flow
at risk.

12. Cardiovascular Disease – cause of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease.

13. Coronary Heart Disease – affects the coronary arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart.

14. Carotid Artery Disease – when plaque build up happens in the arteries on the side of the neck.

15. Peripheral Arterial Disease – when the plaque build up is in the major arteries that supply blood to the legs,
arms and pelvis, the person will feel numbness, pain and infection.

16. Chronic Kidney Disease- slowly causes the loss of kidney function of removing waste and extra water from
the body

17. Herpetologist – is a zoologist who studies reptiles and amphibians.

- study animals in the wild, where they determine or assess potential threats from pollution

18. Capiz – seafood capital of the Philippines

19. Food Label – provide wealth of information about its ingredients list, nutrition content, serving size, claims
and warnings

20. Megafauna – animals larger than elephant roamed the earth with body weights greater than 100 pounds
(45kg)
 - a group to which the wooly mammoth belongs.

21. Wisdom Teeth – are the third and final set of molars

22. Sclerenchyma cells – that make aquatic plants dependent on a protective shield of water to survive

23. Sclerenchyma – important supporting tissue among terrestrial plants.

24. Photosynthesis – the process of converting light energy into chemical energy to support an organisms
activities.

25. Stomata – specialized structures of terrestrial plants that can also be found among aquatic plants.

26. Zika Virus – transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is particularly dangerous to pregnant women as
an infection has been linked to severe birth defects, such as microcephaly, which leads to babies born
with small heads or heads that stop growing after birth.

27. Ecology – branch of science that analyzes and studies interactions among organisms and their environment.

28. Ecosystem – are composed of dynamically interacting parts including living organisms, non-living
components, and the communities they make up.

29. Heat – form of energy that regulates temperature.

30. Temperature – largely dependent on the incidence of solar radiation.

31. Sunlight – the primay source of energy for the sustenance of ecosystems

32. Red Tide – one phenomenon occurring in large bodies of water wherein algal blooms deplete oxygen levels in the
water.

33. Oxygen depletion – is an environmental stress evident when there are fish kills

34. Gravity – element that influences the life cycle of organisms

- determines the shape and movement of tectonic plates

35. Circulation patterns – global trade winds and the composition of soil affect ecosystem too

36. Deforestation – very rampant, causing erosion, vast migration of organisms

37. Celiac Disease – condition wherein the small intestines becomes inflamed due to an immune reaction to
gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, or rye.
38. Dermatitis herpetiformis – is an itchy blister that appears on the elbows, knees, torso, scalp, and buttocks.
39. Ethologist – are scientist who focus on a very special field that studies animal behavior, from smallest
insect to the largest mammal.
40. Symbiosis - this relationship between two or more individuals that live closely together.
41. Commesalism – occurs when one species benefits from the other species without causing it any damage
or harm.
42. Mutualism – is an interaction in which both species benefit from one another.
43. Parasitisms – parasites benefits but unlike predation, it does not necessarily cause immediate death in its
host.
44. Disease – is a form of parasitism that has a chance that death may occur depending on severity.
45. Competition – several species tend to fight over the limited resource available in that habitat.
46. Albert Einstein – Theory of Relatively
47. Gravity – is a curve in space-time and astronomers regulary observe this phenomenon
48. Tipler Cylinder – which you spin at a rate of a few billon revolutions per minute
49. Black Hole theory – which says that a ship moving around the black hole will only experience half the time
experienced by everyone far from the black hole.
