Mitchell’s equation II

This work belongs to the Mitchell’s dream series, inspired by the Chemiosmotic hypothesis that penetrates all biology. The Nobel prize winning British biochemist Peter Mitchell first published his ideas on the proton motive force in Nature in 1961. The equations here suggest the mitochondrial network.

These organelles look good together. They are some of the most recognizable cellular components. All can be drawn with a few strong lines that will make them instantly identifiable. The Golgi apparatus packages macromolecules and transports them throughout the cell, in those full vesicles. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum seem to be supervising the operation.
