Transport

Transport Definition

Imagine you're trying to deliver different packages to various friends across a city. Just like how you need to figure out the best routes and transportation methods to ensure each package reaches the right person efficiently, cells and organisms must distribute nutrients, oxygen, and other vital materials to the appropriate parts of the body. In this analogy, the packages represent the materials, the friends are the cells or organs needing those materials, and the city's transportation system is akin to the body's circulatory system, responsible for ensuring everything gets to where it needs to be.
