Biology
1 answer:
jasenka [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Open-cast mining

Explanation:

The aftermath of open cast mining are pits (called quarries) on the surface of the earth where the surface soil has been removed/ displaced to access the mineral deposits that are just close or at the surface of the earth. This type of mining results in environmental degradation because they disturb the biodiversity of the ecosystem in which the mining is taking place. Rehabilitation of the area is required after the mining has been exhausted to restore the initial environment.

This is an active transport mechanism by which cells pump sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Primary active transport

Explanation:

Primary active transport is the transport in which molecules are moved against their gradient, with direct use of ATP as an energy source. Na/K pump  is an example  of primary active transport: Na ions are transported out of cell, K ions are moved into the cell. This pumps maintain concentrations of those ions and also creates voltage across the cell membrane, which can be used for the secondary active transport of other molecules (e.g. glucose).
