Stoichiometric equations are used to represent growth of microorganisms provided a ' molecular formula' for the cells is available. The molecular formula for biomass is obtained by measuring the amounts of C, N, H, O and other elements in cells. For a particular bacterial strain, the molecular formula was determined to be C4.4H7.30 1.2N0.86 . These bacteria are grown under aerobic conditions with hexadecane (C16H34) as substrate. The reaction equation describing growth is:

A- COPI                           i- vesicles transport proteins from the ER to the Golgi.

B- COPII                          ii- vesicles mainly transport proteins in the retrograde direction between Golgi cisternae and from the cis -Golgi back to the ER.

C- Clathrin                      iii- vesicles transport proteins from the plasma membrane (cell  surface) and the trans-Golgi network to late endosomes.
