To mitigate the fiscal impact, the draft executive order proposes full devolution of certain national government functions to LGUs. It outlines principles for transition plans and establishing a growth equalization fund, while ensuring capacity building and coordination between different levels of government.

1. Plants use phytoremediation to remove toxic chemicals from soil and water. Poplar trees are used to clean up a contaminated site in Maryland by absorbing chemicals like TCE.
2. Plant bodies are organized into three tissue systems - ground, vascular, and dermal tissues. Vascular tissues transport water and nutrients throughout the plant via xylem and phloem.
3. Primary shoots and roots carry out photosynthesis, water and nutrient transport, and food storage. Leaves are adapted for light capture and gas exchange while roots absorb water and minerals.
Introduction and Unit II History
Political science is the study of the state, government, and politics. It examines how individuals associate into political communities and how those communities are governed. The scope of political science includes political theory, public law, and public administration. It is interrelated with other social sciences like history, economics, geography, sociology, anthropology, and psychology. The goals of studying political science include gaining knowledge and understanding of citizenship, government, and liberal education. A state is defined as a political community occupying a territory with its own government and sovereignty. States are distinguished from nations and governments. Governments are necessary to advance public welfare and consequences arise in their absence. Forms of government vary based on who exercises sovereign power and the relationship between branches
