Respirator mechanisms phases

In phase 3 of cellular respiration, the high-energy phosphate bonds of ATP are used for processes such as muscle contraction (mechanical work), maintaining low intracellular Na concentrations (transport work), synthesis of larger molecules such as DNA in anabolic pathways (biosynthetic work), or detoxification (biochemical work). As a consequence of these processes, ATP is either directly or indirectly hydrolyzed to ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi), or to AMP and pyrophosphate (PPi). 

From this comparison, it appears to be a correlation between high density of mitochondria at the outer cell wall (Fig 3 A) and properties related to a CO, concentrating mechanism, ie low COj compensation levels (fig 3B), efficient HCO" utilization at high pH (Fig 3C ) and high rates of CO, uptake from gas phase (Fig 3C o). Such a correlation is understandable, and might inmcate that ATP derived from mitochondrial respiration is...
