Fig. 4. Effects of acclimation temperature and cadmium exposure on cellular energy
budgets of isolated gill (A) and hepatopancreas (B) cells of C.
virginica. Data for control oysters and for those exposed for 40 days to
50 µg l1 Cd are shown (N=612).
Proportions of the total oxygen consumption in isolated cells due to
non-mitochondrial respiration (non-mito), mitochondrial proton leak (proton
leak), cytosolic protein synthesis (protein synthesis) and the remaining ATP
turnover (MATP) are given.
