Table 2. Input/output fluxes of one-cell model in comparison to physiological observations.
| Molecular Species | Flux [µmol/(m2/s)] | Physiological Range [µmol/(m2/s)] | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| (i) Inputs | |||
| Photons | 193.7 | 100 - 400 | Bailey et al. (2001) |
| CO2 | 20 | 20 | Lacher (2003) |
| NO3- | 0.5 | 0.11 - 0.18 | Kiba et al. (2012) |
| H2O | 18.2 | - | |
| (ii) Outputs | |||
| O2 | 20.9 | 16.5 | Sun et al. (1999) |
| Amino Acids | 0.3 | - | |
| Sucrose/Starch | 0.8 | - |
Note: CO2 has one carbon per molecule while Sucrose has 12. Starch is configured to have the same number of carbons compared to sucrose while amino acids on average have 5.5 carbons.
