Is the glucose transporter an active or passive transport? Describe glucose transport across the cell membrane. How would you calculate the free energy of a glucose gradient? What would the sign of the change in free energy tell you about the direction of the glucose movement across the membrane?

How is the energy provided for glucose uptake by active transport?
Pronoy S.
The glucose concentration outside of a cell is higher than that inside of the cell. Glucose is moved inside by means of a glucose transporter but no energy is involved. What type of transport is this describing?
Adi S.
10) The transport of glucose molecules across a cell membrane occurs via: A) passive diffusion B) facilitated transport C) active transport D) Glucose is transported across a cell membrane by any of passive diffusion, facilitated transport and active transport.
