Lifecraft – Mitochondrion Setup

Optimized / Fully Functional Mitochondrion Setup

Here’s my way, using long pickers when possible to block item consumption until needed.

To Describe a Bit:

The glycolysis start at the bottom, using one uniporter to bring the pyruvate and one antiporter for the NAD/NADH, and one output for the ATP. All outputs use longpickers to prevent any item going anywhere else. The pyruvate in then fed into the mitochondrion in the left catalyzer (pyruvate dehydrogenase). The right catalyser will do the krebs cycle.

The left catalyzer use its own electron transport chain to consume the NADH and feed them back to the catalyzer. The others outputs, CO2 is extracted through a gas picker, and the Acetyl-CoA can only get to the krebs catalyzer through a long picker.

The right part is just a microtube loop to bring the NADH to the right electron transport chain, and bring the NAD back to the catalyzer for krebs cycle or glycolysis reaction. The oxaloacetate will also cycle after each krebs cycle.

The ATP synthase exchange ADP/ATP through a distinct circuit going to the ATP antiporter to feed the outside energy supplier.

The decoupler are not needed for the mitochondrion to work.

Note: The advantage, or disadvantage if you count on it to warm up the cell, is that the whole circuit will only run when energy is consumed. The limiter is the ADP/ATP output from the glycolysis catalyzer at the bottom.
