Term	Link to MitoPedia term	Symbol	Unit	Links and comments
catabolic rate of respiration	Cell respiration	JkO2; IkO2	varies	flux J versus flow I
catabolic reaction	Cell respiration	k	-
cell count	Count	Nce	[x]	see number of cells; countable object s=ce
cell-count concentration	Concentration	Cce	[x∙L­-1]	Cce = Nce∙V-1; count concentration C versus amount concentration c; subscript ce indicates the entity type: concentration of ce. But it does not signal 'per entity', which would be written as 'per cell' Xce.
cell mass	Body mass	mce	[kg]	mass of cells m versus mass per cell (per single entity cell) MXce
cell mass, mass per cell	Body mass	MXce	[kg∙x­-1]	mass per single cell MXce; upper case M and subscript X signal 'per count', subscript ce signals the entity s=ce; in a context restricted to cells or molecules or a particular organism such as humans, the abbreviated symbol M [kg∙x­-1] provides a sufficiently informative signal, particularly in combination with the explicit unit.
cell-mass concentration in chamber	Concentration	Cmce	[kg∙L­-1]	see Cms: Cmce = mce∙V-1; upper case C alone would signal 'count concentration' (CN is more explicit), whereas the signal for 'mass concentration' is in the combination Cm.
concentration of O2, amount	Concentration	cO2 = nO2∙V­-1	[mol∙L­-1]	[O2]
concentration of s, count	Concentration	Cs = Ns∙V­-1	[x∙L-1] (number concentration Cohen 2008 IUPAC Green Book); the signal for count concentration is given by the upper case C in contrast to c for amount concentration. In both cases, the subscript X indicates the entity type, not to be confused with a number of entities.
count of Xs	Count	Ns	[x]	SI; see number of entities Xs
coupling control	Coupling-control ratio	CCR	-
coupling control state	Coupling control state	CCS	-
electron transfer pathway	Electron transfer pathway	ET pathway	-
electron transfer, state	Electron transfer pathway	ET	-	(State 3u)
electron transfer system	Electron transfer pathway	ETS	-	(electron transport chain)
elementary entity	Entity	Xs	[x]	single countable object of sample type s
ET capacity	ET capacity	E	varies	rate
flow, for O2	Flow	IO2	[mol∙s-­1]	system-related extensive quantity
flux, for O2	Flux	JO2	varies	size-specific quantity
flux control ratio	Flux control ratio	FCR	1	background/reference flux
International System of Units	International System of Units	SI	-	Cohen 2008 IUPAC Green Book
LEAK state	LEAK respiration	LEAK	-	(compare State 4)
LEAK respiration	LEAK respiration	L	varies	rate
living cells	Living cells	ce	-	(intact cells)
mass concentration of sample s in chamber	Concentration	Cms	[kg∙L-1]
mass of sample s in a mixture	Mass	ms	[kg]	SI: mass of pure sample mS
mass per single object	Body mass	MNX	[kg∙x­1]	SI: m(X); compare molar mass M(X)
mitochondria or mitochondrial	Mitochondria	mt	-
mitochondrial concentration	Mitochondrial marker, Concentration	CmtE = mtE∙V-1	[mtEU∙L-1]
mitochondrial content per X	Mitochondrial marker	mtENX	[mtEU∙x­-1]	mtENX = mtE∙NX-1
mitochondrial elementary marker	Mitochondria	mtE	[mtEU]	quantity of mt-marker
mitochondrial elementary unit	Mitochondria	mtEU	varies	specific units for mt-marker

normalization of rate	Normalization of rate	-	-
number of cells	Count	Nce	[x]	total cell count of living cells, Nce = Nvce + Ndce

OXPHOS-capacity	OXPHOS-capacity	P	varies	rate
OXPHOS state	OXPHOS-capacity	OXPHOS	-	OXPHOS-state distinguished from the process OXPHOS (State 3 at kinetically-saturating [ADP] and [Pi])
oxygen concentration	Oxygen concentration	cO2 = nO2∙V­-1	[mol∙L­-1]	[O2]
