Which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells using this information? Glucose diffuses slowly through artificial phospholipid bilayers. The cells lining the small intestine, however, rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm.A. Simple diffusion B. Phagocytosis C. Active transport pumps D. Exocytosis E. Facilitated diffusion
Marlyn J.
The movement of glucose into a cell against a concentration gradient is most likely to be accomplished by which of the following? a) movement of glucose into the cell through a glucose channel b) receptor-mediated endocytosis c) cotransport of the glucose with a proton or sodium ion that was pumped across the membrane using the energy of ATP hydrolysis d) passive diffusion of the glucose through the lipid bilayer e) facilitated diffusion of the glucose using a carrier protein
