In the following fake (dumb) code, how can I interpret the ratelaw,
i.e. what are the values of "cyt" and "nuc"?

<listOfCompartments>
<compartment id="cyt" size="5e-15"/>
<compartment id="nuc" size="e-15"/>
</listOfCompartments>
<listOfSpecies>
<species id="A" compartment="cyt" initialConcentration="0.5" />
<species id="B" compartment="nuc" initialConcentration="0" />
</listOfSpecies>
<listOfReactions>
<reaction id="transport">
<listOfReactants>
<reactant speciesReference="A" />
</listOfReactants>
<listOfProducts>
<product speciesReference="B">
</listOfProducts>

<ci>B</ci>
