Use the compilation arithmetic example with input $x=7$. An abstract syntax tree interpreter first reads x, obtains $2+3=5$, forms $7\cdot 5=35$, and finally computes $35-4=31$. Interpreting the folded abstract syntax tree skips the addition but gives the same result. The compiled stack machine instructions instead produce the following trace; the top of the stack is written on the right:

instruction    stack after instruction
initial        []
LOAD x         [7]
PUSH 5         [7, 5]
MUL            [35]
PUSH 4         [35, 4]
SUB            [31]

The order in SUB is essential: reversing its two popped operands would give $4-35=-31$. The same stored instruction sequence works for input $x=-2$, yielding $(-2)\cdot 5-4=-14$, without repeating parsing or constant folding. An abstract syntax tree interpreter can likewise reuse its already-parsed tree. Reusing a representation is therefore useful to both approaches; it does not itself distinguish compilation from interpretation.

The pleasing part is that a nested rooted tree and a flat instruction sequence express the same computation. The structural induction in the compilation arithmetic example connects them by a precise stack property. This tiny language always terminates and has no side effects; richer programming language semantics require a correctness argument that also accounts for failures, externally visible actions, and possible nontermination.

The hertz, symbol $\mathrm{Hz}$, is the SI unit of frequency: $1\mathrm{Hz}=1{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ for a periodic phenomenon. A $50\mathrm{Hz}$ oscillation completes fifty cycles per second and has period of an oscillation $20\mathrm{ms}$. The unit name is written in lower case in ordinary prose, while the symbol retains its capital H.

Angular frequency is instead expressed in radians per second. A frequency of $1\mathrm{Hz}$ corresponds to angular frequency $2\pi \mathrm{rad}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$, not $1\mathrm{rad}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$. The SI uses separate unit names to keep these physically different quantities distinguishable even though both involve inverse time.^[ref]

Substrate-level phosphorylation forms ATP by enzyme-catalyzed transfer of a phosphate group from a phosphorylated substrate to ADP. In canonical glycolysis, two such transfers occur for each three-carbon route, giving four gross ATP per glucose. Unlike oxidative phosphorylation, these transfers do not require an electron transport chain.^[ref]

The pyruvate kinase example under Coupled-enzyme readout of glycolytic ATP formation separates the material transfer from its detection. A favourable coupled chemical reaction supplies the driving change in Gibbs free energy; the enzyme supplies a catalytic route. Counting ATP-forming transfers gives a gross yield, while subtracting upstream ATP use gives the net yield.

Oxidative phosphorylation couples respiratory redox conversion to ATP formation through chemiosmosis. ATP synthase uses inward proton flow to join ADP and inorganic phosphate.^[ref]

The intermediate electrochemical gradient explains why respiratory uncoupling can preserve oxygen consumption while reducing ATP formation. An electron ledger alone cannot determine the recovery of useful free energy.

An electron transport chain transfers electrons from an electron donor through electron carriers to a terminal electron acceptor. In the mitochondrial respiratory chain, some transfers drive protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane; their return through ATP synthase can drive ATP formation.^[ref]

The useful separation is between an electron route and a proton route. The former ends in a redox chemical reaction; the latter changes an electrochemical gradient across a membrane. Energy coupling connects them without making electrons and protons interchangeable. An oxygen readout consequently need not be an ATP readout.

This article focuses on the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Bacteria can use other terminal electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration. In chloroplast light-dependent reactions, light supplies energy and linear electron transport connects water oxidation to NADP+ reduction, releasing oxygen. Thus neither oxygen consumption nor the mitochondrial arrangement defines every electron transport chain.^[ref]
