ental consequence of this process for water?

The environmental consequence of strip mining on water is toxic material left after mineral extraction can leak into waterways.

WHAT IS STRIP MINING:

  • Strip mining is the process of extracting ore by removing the soil and rock that overlays the mineral ore.

  • Strip mining is a commonly used extraction method for coal. It is however, used for ores that are close to the surface of the soil or rock to be removed.

  • Strip mining, however, has detrimental effects on consumed water and environment as a whole because toxic materials left after mineral extraction can leak into waterways.

Why is mechanical digestion and important to chemical digestion
dangina [55]
They are both important because mechanical has to do with physical - cause mechanical means physical, so chewing your mouth is physical (you break your food into smaller pieces physically). And then chemical digestion is when food and saliva mix together. They happen when breaking down food into nutrients - enzymes. Enzymes are important for that process, because they make a nutrient.



Hope this helps!!

Although the direct reduction of CoQ to CoQH2 is thermodynamically possible, this reaction is not a direct part of the electron
Nady [450]

Answer:

This electron handoff from NADH to FMN, as opposed to direct reduction of CoQ by NADH, a critical component of the electron transport chain is important for Signaling Transduction and Metabolomics

Explanation:

The NADH-CoQ reductase reaction is catalyzed by Complex I. In this course of activity, following events takes place-  

a) FNM (NADH dehydrogenase flavoprotein) is reduced by the NADH  to FMNH2 through following reactions –  

NADH+H++E-FMN↔NAD++E-FMNH2

b) In the next phase coenzyme Q  receives electron from FMNH2  through the the iron–sulfur centers of the NADH-CoQ reductase

c) The iron atom undergoes oxidation–reduction cycles to conserve  mitochondrial protein  as lataxin and hence transport protons from the matrix to the intermembranal space thereby Signaling Transduction and Metabolomics
