A model dosent necessarily need to function where as a prototype needs to function. for example "Inventor" a 3D modeling program made by AutoCAD makes digital models, that don't function. a prototype needs to function so that you can do tests on it.

A mock-up is only supposed to look like the real thing, but it doesn't have to work at all. Used for trade shows, marketing ("this is what it will look like") and ergonomic studies ("is it comfortable in your hand?")

A prototype has to look and work like the real thing. It actually is the real thing, but it's the first unit and you know you'll probably have to change a few things before you start manufacturing it. It is used for testing and real demonstration purposes ("see, it really works!", "how fast can it really go?")

What are the similarities and differences between direct objects and subject complements?

Both direct objects and subject complements are types of complements in a sentence. A direct object receives the action of the verb and answers the question "what" or "whom," while a subject complement renames or describes the subject after a linking verb. However, a direct object is necessary for the sentence to make sense, while a subject complement provides additional information about the subject.
