WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Match each transport mechanism with a suitable analogy.
1. a dog being dragged into a bathtub against its will
2. a child eating a doughnut
3. a dog pulled on a wagon through a spring loaded door
4. a woman drinking tea
5. a crowded roomful of people gradually standing up, wandering around, and leaving the room pinocytosis
facilitated diffusion
active transport
phagocytosis
passive diffusion
pinocytosis
The trick here is to understand the definition of each of the cellular transport or function mechanisms listed. These are some interesting (and strange) analogies!
Facilitated Diffusion This is when a mechanism assists in diffusing (spreading) some material into an environment. The dog on the wagon going through a spring loaded door would shoot it out into the environment. This is an odd analogy but Point 3 would be the one.
Active Transport Is when energy is expended to transport molecules somewhere against a concentration gradient or some other barrier. Examples include transporting molecules across a cell wall. The best analogy is the dog being dragged into a bathtub (Point 1).
Phagocytosis This is when a larger cell consumes a molecule often like eating. This matches to point 2 - the child eating the doughnut.
Passive Diffusion Is when a concentration of molecules naturally diffuse into an environment. This suits point 5 - the crowded room full of people.
Pinocytosis Is the budding of cell membranes to consume liquid in the surrounding environment. I guess a woman drinking tea is the closest analogy listed (Point 4).
