FIGURE 3.

Here we show the section of a cell in which glycolysis and cell respiration are shown in a simplified form. It is clear here that this system requires four forms of cell work to generate ATP (1-4). These are synthesis work (1), concentration work (2), electrical work (3), and mechanical work (4). See the text for further explanations. To describe the individual work processes and their interrelationships in more detail, it is not sufficient to look at the individual proteins. For this purpose, further important parameters must be considered. These are the existing energy, the existing milieu, and the mechanics that influence different levels. In this way, the cell working process can be adequately characterized and described.
