public class Metabolism

extends java.lang.Object

It tracks the organism's interaction with the environment.
CRC
1. tracking the inputs and outputs
Hint: it's actually an I/O buffer. The implementation should handle two queues. Their sizes are defined by the biggest tasks and can be acquired from the Configuration class.
