How would I draw the compartment/flow diagram for this while showing all the flows and rate of the flows?

Fructose-6-phosphate (F ) is produced by an earlier step in the glycolysis process. Assume this happens at a constant rate of 14 pmol/s.

The reaction converts fructose-6-phosphate ( F) into another phosphate. Naturally this occurs at a rate that is proportional to the amount of F. However, since this reaction is catalyzed by the presence of ADP (A ), this rate is multiplied by a factor that is higher the more ADP is present, up to a maximum (saturation level) of 1.3 per second. The same reaction also produces ADP as a byproduct, so is increased at the same rate as above. But due to the complexity of the reaction and the energy released in the process, this increase occurs 0.4 seconds later.

ADP is consumed by other steps of the glycolysis process at a per-molecule rate of 22% per second.
