  The Realm of the Steady State in E. coli
You thus see that there are two types of steady state - one in which the toaster sits equilibrated with room temperature and nothing is happening, and another in which current is flowing through and heating the toaster but the temperature has reached equilibrium and is unchanging.
While the seed is almost in steady state (some very, very low levels of metabolism continue), the spore just sits there unchanged from minute to minute and day to day waiting for the right conditions to come along to induce germination.
That is the realm of the dynamic steady state in a cell culture.

As a biochemistry teacher, I find that a large number of our students are defficient in their quantitative skills.

Slow steady motion of a restraint device is calming, while sudden jerky motion excites.
Observations of cattle in the kosher restraint box indicated that slow steady movements of the apparatus had a calming effect and sudden jerky motion excited the animals (Grandin 1994a, 1993a,c).
These animals may be calm and quiet when they are in familiar surroundings such as their home ranch but they are more likely to panic when they are brought into the strange noisy environment of a meat packing plant or auction market.

 Steady state analysis of metabolic pathways using petri nets
Structural analysis of metabolic systems in steady state aims at, among others, "elucidating relevant relationships among system variables" [Heinrich and Schuster, 1998] and does not rely on imperfectly known or doubtful kinetic data.
A formalization of steady state and related notions is given in Schuster et al.
In the long run, a steady state is approximated: according to the kinetic equations, those reactions with higher reactant (lower product) concentrations are preferred to those with lower reactant concentrations (or higher product concentrations, resp.).
