V. Essay.
1-10. How can we help prevent the further damaging of our Ozone layer?

- As we can see the world faces global warming because of the greenhouse gases that effects our
ozone layer. As a normal citizen we need also to cooperate with the government in the process
of regeneration of our earth ozone layer. In mode of transportation as our government
recognized bicycles and made a bicycle lane this will lessen the use of vehicles that emits
smoke that can affect the ozone layer. Also using a bicycle can exercise our body. “pagsisga ng
basura” is not recommended as our government implement laws action on it because it can also
harm by the smoke creating of it. Instead, proper disposal can be applied. Using an eco-
 friendlier bag and not using of plastics. Lastly, gain knowledge about it and apply it in our daily
lives.

11-20. Explain the importance of Chemistry to your future career.

- As a future Medical Technologist, Chemistry is one of the important things that we need to
know as different body fluids and specimen are encountered and accurate results must be done.
Different machines are operated chemistry applies on it on how will it be performed and what
are the specific analytes, proteins, and electrolytes that will be focusing that will help to
determine if there is any deficiency. Every measurement and chemical levels will be used as
this will become a basis of diagnosing of patient.
