Figure 9-17: Effect of catalysis on net global air-sea CO₂ flux (top) and global average transfer velocity (bottom), as a function of average enzyme concentration

Calculated for 0, 0.21, 0.83, 3.3, 13.3 and 53.2 nM average enzyme concⁿ. The smaller plots enlarge the origins.
Yellow = diffusion only, red = chlorophyll-only, dark-green = "low cost", blue = "high cost" physiology,
{magenta, light-green, cyan} = same as {red, dark-green, blue} with OH^- reaction rate multiplied by six.
