A. Introduction The teacher will play a video that showing the importance of oxygen in the
humans life.
B. Development Phase 1: Oxygen and the Human Breathing System
Oxygen given the chemical symbol O, is an element that represent atomic
number 8. Atmospheric oxygen exists as O 2. Oxygen serves as essential
element in supporting life and as an integral part of the atmosphere.
Oxygen plays a vital role in carrying out metabolic function of cell; and
because of this, its presence enables us to live. It facilitates the breakdown
of nutrients for supporting growth and development, and life overall.
Without metabolism, our body will deteriorate. This will eventually result
to death because our body cannot process the nutrients needed for
maintaining life. in the absence of oxygen, mortality becomes apparent as
other physiological processes in the body become jeopardized. The
impaired metabolic function due to lack of oxygen in the body will result in
susceptibility to infection as the breakdown of specific nutrients for the
immune system becomes impaired. We may also feel weakness due to the
body’s inability to break down glucose for energy, which will ultimately
make the other organs incapacitated, thus leading to death once all supply
of oxygen becomes depleted.
You may get sensation when you feel as if your lungs would burst out of
your chest just to supply your body with enough air, when your body
engage in a rigorous activity or any situation that uses up the body’s
energy. Breathing is defined as the act of pulling air into the lungs
( inhalation ) and eliminating air out of the lungs (exhalation).
Phase 2:
Compare!
Examine the picture between the two activities, which one consumes
more oxygen.
