The Kappa language models networks of these processes, which are compactly written using the Systems Biology Markup Language. For 10 points each:
[10m] Give this generic term for processes that lead to the net disappearance or formation of morphogens. These processes couple to diffusion to form spatially periodic Turing patterns.
ANSWER: chemical reactions [accept chemical reaction networks; accept reaction-diffusion systems]
[10e] A chemical reaction network’s concentrations evolve within an affine subspace called a “compatibility class” named for this word. This adjective describes “coefficients” that indicate the ratios of species involved in reactions.
ANSWER: stoichiometric [accept stoichiometric coefficients or stoichiometric compatibility class; accept word forms like stoichiometry]
[10h] Description acceptable. Chemical reaction networks cannot have this property if they satisfy the deficiency zero or deficiency one theorems. A CSTR has this property if its absorbed heat line intersects the S-shaped generated heat curve three times.
ANSWER: multiple steady states [or multiple equilibria; or multistationary or multistationarity or multiple stationary points; accept multistability or multiple stable points; accept answers indicating more than one steady state or equilibria or stationary point; accept more specific answers like two steady states or three steady states or two stable steady states; prompt on unstable or instability; reject “stable” or “stability” by itself]
