Choose 1 Transport Mechanism in a cell and make a relatable analogy based on your experience recently. Explain .

Active transport across membranes is like refilling an empty soda can after pouring the soda into a cup. It takes effort (energy in the form of ATP) to pour the soda back into the can, it wouldn't typically happen on its own.

Explanation:

Cells use several transport mechanisms to move substances across their plasma membranes. Plasma membranes control all movement of substances through passive transport, which does not use energy; and active transport which requires chemical energy in the form of ATP.

Active transport moves substances out of cells against their gradients. In the cell, glucose can be transported inwards for respiration. However, because the internal environment is typically concentrated, (and glucose is needed in high amounts) this requires the use of transport enzymes and ATP.

The question above is intended to assess your ability to relate cell transport types to your personal experience. For that reason, I can't answer this question for you, but I'll help you answer it.

As you may already know, cell membranes limit the transport of substances into and out of the cell. This makes the cell create a mechanism that allows it to absorb and expel substances. These mechanisms are the cell transport mechanism.

Below you will find a definition of cell transport:

Simple diffusion: Allows molecules to be transported into or out of the cell. In this process, they leave the place where they are in greater concentration to a place with less concentration. An example of this can be seen in an elevator that is full of people, reaching the point where some people need to get out of the elevator and stay outside, where there is no one.

Osmosis: Allows the transport of water into or out of the cell. In this case, the water leaves where it has a lower concentration of salts and goes to where it has a higher concentration of salts. An example of this can be seen when you need to add milk to dilute your powdered chocolate.

Facilitated diffusion: This also allows the transport of substances into or out of the cell. These substances leave the place where they are in greater concentration to the place of lesser concentration, but leave with the help of specific proteins. An example of this can be seen when the postman takes your package from the post office and takes it to your house.

Active transport: Occurs in the same way as facilitated diffusion, but it is the only type of cell transport that allows the cell to spend energy. An example of this occurs when you have to leave the house and go to the post office to pick up your package.
