A cell consists of several replicating molecules that mutually help the synthesis and keep some synchronization for replication. At least a membrane that partly separates a cell from the outside has to be synthesized, keeping some degree of synchronization with the replication of other internal chemicals. Both catalysts and resource chemicals exist in some balance to maintain recursive production. How is such efficient recursive production possible while keeping diversity of chemicals? Is there some universal statistics in abundances of chemicals and in the network for a cell with steady recursive growth?
