Understanding the bioenergetics of cells depends upon determining modes of distribution, especially of ions and ATP. These distributions rely on diffusion controls within structured compartments. New knowledge of cellular structures indicates how localised activity creates flow patterns limited by boundary membranes (see picture). Hence a cell has a cooperative network of localised currents.
