Nanoparticle Trophic Transfer Simulator (2D)

This is the 2D counterpart to the 3D nanoparticle trophic transfer scene: the same bioenergetic ODE model — assimilation efficiency, ingestion rate and elimination rate driving nanoparticle body burden up a food chain from algae to top predator — read off a live chain diagram and a burden-by-level bar chart instead of rendered spheres. Set the number of trophic levels from 2 to 6 and tune the biological parameters to see, in real time, whether the chain magnifies or — as most real ecotoxicology studies of engineered nanomaterials find — dilutes the nanoparticle load at every step up.
