  • Energy  + (Heat and work are forms of '''energy''' [1Heat and work are forms of '''energy''' [1 cal = 4.184 J]. Energy [J] is a fundamental term that is used in physics and physical chemistry with various meanings [1]. These meanings become explicit in the following equations relating to systems at constant [[volume]] (d''V'' = 0) or constant gas [[pressure]] (d''p'' = 0). Energy is exchanged between a system and the environment across the system boundaries in the form of [[heat]], d<sub>e</sub>''Q'', total or available [[work]], d<sub>et</sub>''W'' (or d<sub>et</sub>''W''), and [[matter]], d<sub>mat</sub>''U'' (or d<sub>mat</sub>''H'') [2], </br></br> d''U'' = (d<sub>e</sub>''Q'' + d<sub>et</sub>''W'') + d<sub>mat</sub>''U'' ; d''V'' = 0 [Eq. 1a]</br></br> d''H'' = (d<sub>e</sub>''Q'' + d<sub>e</sub>''W'') + d<sub>mat</sub>''H'' ; d''p'' = 0 [Eq. 1b]</br></br>Whereas d''U'' (or d''H'') describe the [[internal-energy]] change (or [[enthalpy]] change) of the ''system'', heat and work are ''external'' energy changes (subscript e; et: external total; e: external excluding pressure-volume work), and d<sub>mat</sub>''U'' (or d<sub>mat</sub>''H'') are the exchange of matter expressed in internal-energy (or enthaply) equivalents. In closed systems, d<sub>mat</sub>''U'' = 0 (d<sub>mat</sub>''H'' = 0). The energy balance equation [Eq. 1] is a form of the First Law of Thermodynamics, which is the law of conservation of internal-energy, stating that energy cannot be generated or destroyed: energy can only be transformed into different forms of work and heat, and transferred in the form of matter.</br></br>Notably, the term '''energy''' is general and vague, since energy may be associated with either the first or second law of thermodynamics. Work is a form of energy exchange [Eq. 1], but can be seen as [[exergy]] exchange in conjunction with d<sub>e</sub>''G'' = d<sub>e</sub>''W'' in a closed system [Eq. 3b].</br></br>An equally famous energy balance equation considers energy changes of the system only, in the most simple form for isothermal systems (d''T'' = 0):</br></br> d''U'' = d''A'' + ''T''∙d''S'' = d''U'' + d''B'' [Eq. 2a]</br></br> d''H'' = d''G'' + ''T''∙d''S'' = d''G'' + d''B'' [Eq. 2b]</br></br>The internal-energy change, d''U'' (enthalpy change, d''H'') is the sum of ''free'' energy change ([[Helmholtz energy]], d''A''; or Gibbs energy = [[exergy]] change, d''G'') and ''bound'' energy change ([[bound energy]], d''B'' = ''T''∙d''S''). The bound energy is that part of the energy change that is always bound to an exchange of heat.</br></br>A third energy balance equation accounts for changes of the system in terms of irreversible internal processes (i) occuring within the system boundaries, and reversible external processes (e) of transfer across the system boundaries (at constant gas pressure),</br></br> d''H'' = d<sub>i</sub>''H'' + d<sub>e</sub>''H'' [Eq. 3a]</br></br> d''G'' = d<sub>i</sub>''G'' + d<sub>e</sub>''G'' [Eq. 3b]</br></br>The energy conservation law of thermodynamics (first law) can be formulated as d<sub>i</sub>''H'' = 0 (at constant gas pressure), whereas the generally negative sign of the [[dissipated energy]], d<sub>i</sub>''G'' ≡ d<sub>i</sub>''D'' ≤ 0, is a formulation of the second law of thermodynamics.

  • Anoxia  + (Ideally the terms '''anoxia''' and anoxic Ideally the terms '''anoxia''' and anoxic (anox, without oxygen) should be restricted to conditions where molecular oxygen is strictly absent. Practically, effective anoxia is obtained when a further decrease of experimental oxygen levels does not elicit any physiological or biochemical response. The practical definition, therefore, depends on (i) the techiques applied for oxygen removal and minimizing oxygen diffusion into the experimental system, (ii) the sensitivity and limit of detection of analytical methods of measuring oxygen (O<sub>2</sub> concentration in the nM range), and (iii) the types of diagnostic tests applied to evaluate effects of trace amounts of oxygen on physiological and biochemical processes. The difficulties involved in defining an absolute limit between anoxic and [[microxic]] conditions are best illustrated by a logarithmic scale of oxygen pressure or oxygen concentration. In the '''''anoxic state''''' ([[State 5]]), any aerobic type of metabolism cannot take place, whereas '''''[[anaerobic]] metabolism''''' may proceed under oxic or anoxic conditions.lism''''' may proceed under oxic or anoxic conditions.)

  • Dual wavelength analysis  + (If a sample contains a number of absorbingIf a sample contains a number of absorbing substances, it is sometimes possible to select discrete pairs of wavelengths at which the change in [[absorbance]] of a particular substance (due to oxidation or reduction, for example) is largely independent of changes in the [[absorbance]] of other substances present. '''Dual wavelength analysis''' can be carried out for [[cytochrome c]] by subtracting the [[absorbance]] at 540 nm from that at 550nm in order to give a measure of the degree of reduction. Similarly, by subtracting the [[absorbance]] at 465 nm from that at 444 nm, an indicator of the [[redox state]] of [[Complex IV | cytochrome ''aa''<sub>3</sub>]] can be obtained.[[Complex IV | cytochrome ''aa''<sub>3</sub>]] can be obtained.)

  • Chlororespiration  + (In '''chlororespiration''' oxygen is consuIn '''chlororespiration''' oxygen is consumed by a putative respiratory electron transfer system (ETS) within the thylakoid membrane of the [[chloroplasts]] and ATP is produced. It is a process that involves the interaction with the photosynthetic ETS in which NAD(P)H dehydrogenase transfers electrons to oxygen with the assistance of the photosynthetic plastoquinone (PQ), which acts as a non-photochemical redox carrier. Initially described in the unicellular alga ''Chlamydomonas reindhartdii'', chlororespiration was highly disputed for years until the discovery of a NAD(P)H-dehydrogenase (NDH) complex (plastidic encoded) and plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX) (nuclear encoded) in higher-plant chloroplasts. PTOX is homologous to the plant mitochondrial alternative oxidase and has the role of preventing the over-reduction of the PQ pool while the NDH complexes provide a gateway for the electrons to form the ETS and consume oxygen. As a result of this process there is a cyclic electron flow around Photosystem I (PSI) that is activated under stress conditions acting as a photoprotection mechanism and could be involved in protecting against oxidative stress.ed in protecting against oxidative stress.)

  • Noise  + (In [[fluorometry]]In [[fluorometry]] and [[spectrophotometry]], '''noise''' can be attributed to the statistical nature of the photon emission from a [[light source]] and the inherent noise in the instrument’s electronics.

The latter becomes problematic with high [[absorbance]] samples where the light intensity emerging from the sample is very small.ty emerging from the sample is very small.)

In [[reflectance spectrophotometry]], a mirror can be used whereas in [[remission spectrophotometry]] a standard white tile is more appropriate.[[remission spectrophotometry]] a standard white tile is more appropriate.)
  • Discontinuous system  + (In a '''discontinuous system''', gradientsIn a '''discontinuous system''', gradients in [[continuous system]]s across the length, ''l'', of the diffusion path [m], are replaced by differences across compartmental boundaries of zero thickness, and the local concentration is replaced by the free activity, ''α'' [mol·dm<sup>-3</sup>]. The length of the diffusion path may not be constant along all diffusion pathways, spacial direction varies (''e.g.'', in a spherical particle surrounded by a semipermeable membrane), and information on the diffusion paths may even be not known in a discontinuous system. In this case (''e.g.'', in most treatments of the [[protonmotive force]]) the diffusion path is moved from the (ergodynamic) isomorphic [[force]] term to the (kinetic) [[mobility]] term. The synonym of a discontinuous system is '''compartmental''' or discretized system. In the first part of the definition of discontinuous systems, three compartments are considered: (1) the source compartment A, (2) the sink compartment B, and (3) the internal barrier compartment with thickness ''l''. In a two-compartmental description, a system boundary is defined of zero thickness, such that the barrier comparment (''e.g.'', a semipermeable membrane) is either part of the system (internal) or part of the environment (external). Similarly, the intermediary steps in a chemical reaction may be explicitely considered in an ergodnamic multi-comparment system; alternatively, the kinetic analysis of all intermediary steps may be collectively considered in the catalytic reaction ''mobility'', reducing the measurement to a two-compartmental analysis of the substrate and product compartments.al analysis of the substrate and product compartments.)

  • Advancement  + (In an isomorphic analysis, any form of [[flow]]In an isomorphic analysis, any form of [[flow]] is the '''advancement''' of a process per unit of time, expressed in a specific [[motive unit]] [MU∙s<sup>-1</sup>], ''e.g.'', ampere for electric flow or current, ''I''<sub>el</sub> = d<sub>el</sub>''ξ''/d''t'' [A≡C∙s<sup>-1</sup>], watt for thermal or heat flow, ''I''<sub>th</sub> = d<sub>th</sub>''ξ''/d''t'' [W≡J∙s<sup>-1</sup>], and for chemical flow of reaction, ''I''<sub>r</sub> = d<sub>r</sub>''ξ''/d''t'', the unit is [mol∙s<sup>-1</sup>] ('''extent of reaction''' per time).

For chemical processes of reaction (spontaneous from high-potential substrates to low-potential products) and compartmental diffusion (spontaneous from a high-potential compartment to a low-potential compartment), the advancement is the amount of motive substance that has undergone a compartmental transformation [mol]. The concept was originally introduced by De Donder [1]. Central to the concept of advancement is the [[stoichiometric number]], ''ν''<sub>''i''</sub>, associated with each motive component ''i'' (transformant [2]).</br></br>In a chemical reaction r the motive entity is the stoichiometric amount of reactant, d<sub>r</sub>''n''<sub>''i''</sub>, with stoichiometric number ''ν''<sub>''i''</sub>.

  • Quantities, symbols, and units  + (In the context of '''quantities, symbols, In the context of '''quantities, symbols, and units''', a code is required to convert terms defining physicochemical quantities into symbols (encoding) and to decode symbols as used in equations, text, and figures. Then symbols and abbreviations gain meaning. Simple symbols — such as ''Q'' or ''N'' — are used with different meanings depending on context (think of ''Q'' for heat and ''Q'' for electric charge; or ''N'' for number of cells and ''N'' for number of O<sub>2</sub> molecules). The context provides the code. When the context is extended, the symbols have to be expanded too, including more detail to avoid confusion (''Q''<sub>th</sub> versus ''Q''<sub>el</sub>; ''N''<sub>ce</sub> versus ''N''<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub>). Then symbols may appear too complicated, loosing the function of sending their message quickly. There is no single best way to design the right symbol or to replace meaningful symbols (''Q''<sub>el</sub>) by ambiguous abbreviations (''Q'') — all depends on context. We need to use the adequate medium (words, symbols, and abbreviations; equations, text, and figures; videos and slide presentations) and provide the code to achieve communication.

In contrast to [[extensive quantity |extensive quantities]] which pertain to the entire system and are additive, extensive quantities 'take well defined values at each point of the system' ([[Prigogine 1967 Interscience]]) and are non-additive. Intensive and extensive quantities can be easily discriminated by the units, e.g. [J] for the extensive quantity, in contrast to [J·mol<sup>-1</sup>] for the corresponding intensive quantity. In the general definition of thermodynamics, intensive quantities are not distinguished from [[specific quantity |specific quantities]] ([[Cohen 2008 IUPAC Green Book]]). [[Ergodynamics]] emphasizes the contrast between specific quantities which are extensive quantities normalized for a variable expressing system size (mass, volume of the system, amount of substance in a system) and intensive quantities which are normalized for the motive unit of a transformation (mass exchanged, volume change of the system, amount of substance reacting in a system; [[Gnaiger 1993 Pure Appl Chem]]). Intensive and specific quantities are both non-additive, take well defined values at each point of the system, and both corresponding quantities are expressed in identical units, e.g. the intensive quantity Gibbs force of a catabolic reaction (such as oxidation; 0 = -1 Glc - 6 O<sub>2</sub> + 6 CO<sub>2</sub> + 6 H<sub>2</sub>O), Δ<sub>k</sub>''G''<sub>Glc</sub> [kJ·mol<sup>-1</sup>], and the specific quantity Gibbs energy per mole glucose contained in a system, ''G''<sub>Glc</sub> [kJ·mol<sup>-1</sup>] (with respect to an arbitrarily defined reference state, such as the reference state of formation or combustion).<sub>Glc</sub> [kJ·mol<sup>-1</sup>] (with respect to an arbitrarily defined reference state, such as the reference state of formation or combustion).)

In metabolism, the reductionist approach has allowed us to know which enzymes, metabolites and genes are involved in a metabolic pathway but this is not enough to understand how it is controlled, resulting in poor results from attempts to increase the rates of selected metabolic pathways. The control of the metabolism is the capacity to alter the metabolic state in response to an external signal. With this definition in mind, we will assess the metabolic control in terms of the strength of any of the responses to the external factor without making the assumption about the function or purpose of that response[1].</br></br>====Bibliography:====</br></br>::1.

[[Complex I|CI]], [[CIII]] and [[CIV]] are H<sup>+</sup> pumps that drive [[hydrogen ion]]s against the electrochemical [[protonmotive force]] ''pmF'' and thus generating the ''pmF'', driven by electron transfer from reduced substrates to oxygen. In contrast, [[ATP synthase]] (also known as CV) is a H<sup>+</sup> pump that utilizes the exergy of proton flow along the protonmotive force to drive phosphorylation of [[ADP]] to [[ATP]].P]].)
  • Malate dehydrogenase  + (Mitochondrial '''malate dehydrogenase''' iMitochondrial '''malate dehydrogenase''' is localized in the mitochondrial matrix and oxidizes [[malate]], generated from fumarate by fumarase, to [[oxaloacetate]], reducing NAD<sup>+</sup> to NADH+H<sup>+</sup> in the [[TCA cycle]]. Malate is added as a substrate in most [[N-pathway control state]]s.[[N-pathway control state]]s.)
