Very Small With A Loud Voice
a: Antibody ~
b: marine reconnaissance unit
What: An antibody binding to it's antigen sets off an amplification cascade. This small molecule changes its configuration and let the rest of the immune system know that it has found an invading entity and that you should come and attack it. Likewise a marine recon unit is small focused and moves really quick, while the rest of the marine core is big and dumb and moves slowly, but ultimately very powerfully, if it know where to go. So, this small group of marines signals the whole division where to attack in mass the way antibody binding event signals the whole immune system.

a: Armature ~
b: skeleton
What: "An armature is like skeleton; it gives strength and flexibility to the clay character. If you plan to move arms, legs or anything else on the clay character, you will need an internal skeleton of sorts to stop to appendages from breaking off or bending in the wrong places."

a: Cellular Respiration ~
b: a hurdler
What:
"However he explained how the activation energy is like a hurdle and the glucose going through Cellular Respiration is like a hurdler; The hurdle is to high for the hurdler to jump at first, then the official (the enzyme) lowers the hurdle and the hurdler can make it. He used this analogy to show me how cellular respiration needs too much energy to start outside the body but once in the stomach the enzymes make it easier for the reaction to start."

a: stock market crash ~
b: financial menstruation
What:
Both are build ups in anticipation of something, some future growth. Both can be emotional draining for all those involved. Both can be pretty messy if not handled correctly. During the occurrence of either, all parties involved need assurance that everything will work out for the better, which is it usually does. Financial menopause is a different matter for a different day and a different metaphor.
