The process of cell growth and division can be phenomenologically described in entropic language. Assuming a cell to be a sphere of radius r, in which the production of entropy is proportional to its volume (Si = aV), and the outflow of its surface into the surrounding space (Se = -bS), find the stationary radius of the cell. How much will entropy change if the cell splits in half?
