This section gives models for the rates of birth, growth, and death of cell populations. We seek models for (1) the rate at which biomass is created, (2) the rates at which substrates are consumed, (3) the rates at which products are generated, (4) the maintenance requirements for a static population, and (5) the death rate of cells. The emphasis is on unstructured models. 

Pyraflufen-ethyl is also used as the defoliant for cotton and as a desiccant for potatoes. Pyraflufen-ethyl is a novel inhibitor of protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase. Inhibition of this enzyme in chloroplasts causes accumulation of protoporphyrinogen IX, which results in peroxidation of foliar cell membrane lipids under the light and finally death of cells. 

Knowledge of the health of the cells after a stroke is fundamental if the cells are still alive, the use of neuroprotectant drugs can be useful to minimise brain damage otherwise, their utilisation is useless. A chemical parameter capable of assessing the state of health of tissue cells is pH. In fact, the death of tissue cells is followed by formation of lactic acid, which causes a decrease in blood pH. Normal values are around 7.4 a decrease below this value in the region in which a stroke has taken place is an index of the death of cells. 

Death of cells can occur in two ways - necrosis or apoptosis - and mitochondria play a role in both processes (Chapter 20).

Death can be considered at two different levels death of cells, and death of humans due to old age (which may be described as physiological) or disease. 

Figure 20.34 A simple representation of the processes of necrosis and apoptosis leading to the death of cells. Necrosis is initiated by a decrease In the ATP/ADP concentration ratio, which slows ion pumps, which leads to cation imbalance (e.g. ca ion entry into the cytosol) and hence intracellular damage, entry of water and lysis which can lead to local inflammation. Apoptosis is initiated by specific extracellular or intracellular factors, which lead to cell shrinkage and disruption into apoptotic bodies which are removed by phagocytes.

With a few notable exceptions—such as puromycin and its relatives, psicofuranine and decoynine, and certain 9-alkylpurines-which will be discussed later, purines and their nucleosides must be anabolized to nucleoside phosphates in order to exert their biological effects. This type of metabolic event has been called a lethal synthesis , because it results in the death of cells that carry it out.

The massive dysregulation of Ca2+ signalling that culminates in the death of cells is a dramatic example of the ambivalent nature of the Ca2+ message. The literature describing the numerous ways in which the homeostasis of Ca2+ may become so dramatically altered, and the molecular mechanisms by which they terminate cell life has now become impressively large. However, a number of less dramatic conditions have become known more recently, in which the Ca2+ signal is not altered globally and persistently to the extent necessary to rapidly precipitate cell...
