intracellular transport

Intracellular transport refers to the movement of materials within a cell. Cells are like bustling cities where different parts need to communicate and exchange resources to function properly. Proteins and molecules are transported along pathways, akin to roads, using structures like motor proteins that move along filaments. This transport is essential for distributing nutrients, signaling molecules, and waste removal. It ensures that various cell functions occur smoothly, similar to how deliveries and communications keep a city running efficiently. Proper intracellular transport is crucial for cell health and overall biological functions.
