The system \[ \frac {dy}{dx} = AG(t,y), \quad (t,y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^n \tag \(*\) \] occuring in physical chemistry and biology is investigated. Here is \(A:=C-C'\) where \(C,C'\) are \(n\times m\) matrices whose elements \(c_{ij}\), \(c'_{ij}\) are nonnegative integers such that rank\((A)<m\) and \(G: = [G_j]\) is an \(m\)-vector \[ G_j (t,y) : = -r_j(t) \prod ^n_{k=1} y_k^{c_{kj}} + d_j (t) \prod ^n_{k=1} y_k^{c_{kj}'}. \] It is supposed that \(r_j\), \(d_j : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow [0,\infty)\) are continuous functions.
Using the method of inequalities, the elementary fixed point method and the invariance principle the author derives some basic properties of nonnegative solutions to the nonautonomous system \((*)\), proves the existence of a critical point in the autonomous case and derives some asymptotic properties of a special form of \((*)\).
