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.

This family of ATPases is structurally related to the pumps that acidify lysosomes and vesicles; however, they usually function
Vsevolod [243]

This family of ATPases is structurally related to the pumps that acidify lysosomes and vesicles; however, they usually function in reverse, generating ATP from ADP and Pi using proton gradients across membranes is called F-type pumps.

  • The inner membrane of mitochondria and bacterial plasma membranes both contain F type pumps, which are necessary for the generation of ATP.
  • It is also known as the ATP synthase complex or Complex V. By letting these protons passively return to the matrix, they use the proton gradient created by the flow of electrons to produce ATP.
  • The F1 motor is the ATP turnover motor and,
  • In mammals, the F0 motor, which is in charge of ion translocation, has nine subunits, nine of which are likely centered on the membrane's A, B, and C subunits, along with D, E, F2, F6, G2, and 8 subunits.
