Pollen grain is a haploid, unicellular body. It is cuticularised and the cutin is of special type called sporopollenin, which is resistant to chemical and biological decomposition. It can withstand high temperatures as well as strong acids and alkalis. This is why, pollen wall is preserved for long periods in fossil deposits. In addition pollen wall possesses proteins for enzymatic and compatability reactions.

Due to an infection of the endothelial lining, viruses are being released from the walls of a venule into the blood passing through it. The venule has an internal diameter of 0.012 cm, a length of 0.13 cm, and a vmax of 0.8 cm/s. The concentration of viruses at the wall is 0.097 pM and the diffusivity of a virus particle is 4.2e-8 cm^2/s. Calculate the number of viruses exiting the wall per second (in viruses/second) at steady-state according to the short contact time solution.
