Another Brick in the Cell Wall: Biosynthesis Dependent Growth Model
Figure 1
Summary of the theoretical framework.
Biological growth is the resulting effect of 3 forms of energy and their coupling (noted M/T, M/C and T/C with M for Mechanical, T for Thermal and C for Chemical). For each energy, each couple of intensive and extensive variables is linked by one component of Tisza's matrix (defined in Eq. 5). An example of the function of each form of energy and coupling is provided.
