**Roundup Herbicide Mechanism of Action:**Roundup herbicide works by inhibiting the synthesis of the aromatic amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine in plants.**a) Delay in Observing Herbicidal Effects:**The herbicidal effect of Roundup generally takes at least 7 days to be observed because it inhibits amino acid synthesis, affecting protein production and resulting in gradual plant death. The plant first exhausts existing amino acid reserves before showing visible signs of damage, which accounts for the delayed impact.**b) Alternative Faster-Acting Herbicidal Mechanism:**One possible alternative mechanism for quicker herbicidal action could involve disrupting photosynthesis or damaging cell membranes, leading to faster cellular damage and visible wilting or discoloration. This direct attack on vital functions would manifest in a shorter time than the amino acid synthesis inhibition used by Roundup.

To track cell growth and utilization of the limiting substrate in a bioreactor, the yield is typically used. The yield overline v is defined as Y = (X - X_{0}) / (S_{0} - S) Where X and S are the cell mass and substrate concentration at any time t and X_{0} and S_{0} are the initial cell mass and substrate concentration. Assume that your cells spend a time tl in the lag phase, and then transition to the exponential phase. Calculate the concentration of the substrate S, at any time point t in the reactor Use Monod equation in the exponential phase to relate mu net to mu max . Your final answer should only contain S.
