Historical Development of Science and Technology in the Philippines (focus on EE, ECE, IT) 1. Spanish Regime – Establishment of Schools and Scientific Research Event: Introduction of formal education and limited scientific research during Spanish colonization. Significance: Laid the foundation for a structured educational system, which later supported technical fields. Although focused on religious and classical studies, this was the first step toward institutionalized learning. Impact: Indirect influence on EE/ECE/IT since these disciplines require strong educational systems. Early literacy and math skills became precursors for future engineering education. 2. American Regime – Public Education, Scholarships, and Research Agencies (Early 1900s) Event: Americans established public schools, introduced English as a medium of instruction, created scholarships in science and engineering, and set up research agencies. Significance: Accelerated modernization ...

  I. Concept Map Objective: Create a concept map to visualize your understanding of  lipid and protein metabolism .  This activity evaluates your ability to integrate ideas from the provided reading and external knowledge, as well as your critical thinking. Instructions: Use  black ink  to include information directly from the provided reading. Use  red ink  to write any questions or uncertainties you have about the topic. Use  blue ink  to answer your question and/or add related information from other sources, experiences, or your own research. Ensure all connections are clearly labeled, logical, and reflect thoughtful analysis. Submit the concept map at the  beginning  of the the face-to-face class. Evaluation Criteria: 10 points : All three colors used correctly and appropriately. 8 points : Two colors used correctly. 6 points : One color used correctly. 5 points : One color used incorrectly. 4 points : Two colors used incorrec...

  Lipid and Protein Metabolism: Biochemical Pathways and Agricultural Applications Lipid and protein metabolism represent fundamental biochemical processes essential for all living organisms. These pathways not only sustain basic cellular functions but also play crucial roles in agricultural productivity and sustainability. Research reveals intricate connections between lipid metabolism pathways like β-oxidation and lipogenesis, and protein metabolism's role in nitrogen cycling. Understanding these pathways provides valuable insights for enhancing agricultural product quality and developing sustainable farming practices. This report examines the biochemical foundations of these metabolic processes and explores their applications in improving agricultural efficiency through targeted metabolic engineering approaches. Biochemical Pathways of Lipid Metabolism Fundamentals of Lipid Structure and Function Lipids constitute a diverse group of biological molecules including fats, waxes...
