Dimensionless Numbers to Analyze Expansive Growth Processes

Dimensionless Numbers to Analyze Expansive Growth Processes

Cells of algae, fungi, and plants have walls and exhibit expansive growth which can increase their volume by as much as 10,000 times. Expansive growth is central to their morphogenesis, development, and sensory responses to environmental stimuli. Equations describing the biophysical processes of the...
