The ordinary Monod model relates specific growth rate to the concentration of an extracellular limiting substrate available to cells. Carbon, nitrogen or dissolved oxygen can serve that role. Intracellular reserve substrate instead requires a storage/endogenous or quota model; it is not the external substrate variable in the stated Monod formulation. Select D.
