Sugars in the environment and energy of the cell: Exploration 1

Let's explore the effects of the presence or absence of sugar/s in the environment on the energy of the cell.

Follow the instructions below to get started:

Open NetLogo folder and click on NetLogo Logging.

Open the Genetic Switch NetLogo Model that you downloaded earlier.

Let's understand how presence or absence of sugar/s in the environment affect energy of a cell.

Conduct computational experiments using the Genetic Switch Model. 

Questions

Please answer the questions below.
