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. Based on this information, which transport mechanism is most likely responsible for glucose transport in the intestinal cells?A. Simple diffusion.
B. Phagocytosis.
C. Active transport pumps.
D. Exocytosis.
E. Facilitated diffusion.
