Metal transport refers to the movement of metal ions or particles within biological systems or industrial processes. In living organisms, metals like iron and copper are essential for various functions, including oxygen transport and enzyme activity. These metals are often bound to proteins or other molecules to facilitate their transport and prevent toxicity. In industrial contexts, metal transport involves the logistics of moving raw metals, such as aluminum or copper, from extraction sites to manufacturing facilities. This process includes mining, refining, and shipping, ensuring that metals are available for production in various applications, from construction to electronics.
