What does insulin really do on glucose transport inside the cells? It increases the binding of glucose to the insulin receptor It increases the binding of glucose to its transporter GLUT4 It decreases glucose transporter rate It increases the expression and translocation of glucose transporter to the plasma membrane It increases glucose transporter rate

Insulin lowers blood glucose levels" means that _______________ A) Insulin signals target cells to increase uptake of glucose molecules from the blood B) Insulin binds to glucose molecules and removes them from the blood C) Insulin transports glucose molecules into cells by carrier-mediated facilitated diffusion D) Insulin breaks down glucose molecules by glycolysis

Liver cells are packed with glucose. If the concentration of glucose in a liver cell is higher than in the surrounding fluid, what mechanism could the cell use to import even more glucose? Why would only this mode of transport work?
