Abstract
In the previous model we investigated the chemical reaction that may take place within a cell. In this chapter, we model in more detail the activities of an entire cell that receives nutrients from its envronment, uses these nutrients for growth and maintenance, and then excretes waste products back into its environment.
In the nutrient-rich waters of the Thames type, a burst of algal growth may sometimes cease before any serious depletion of the mineral nutrient in the water has apparently taken place. Nature 21 Sept. 1946
