Figure 7.

A simple schematic illustrating the flow of free energy in actomyosin network systems. Blue compartments represent forms of free energy storage, arrows represent the transfer of free energy from one form to another, and the green compartment indicates dissipation as ultimate destination of all free energy flows in this non-equilibrium system. Arrows are labelled with the mechanisms by which these free energy transductions from one form to another are achieved. In this depiction, the sizes of compartments and the widths of the arrows indicating the magnitudes of the represented quantities are not to scale. (Online version in colour.)
