Glucose provides energy for cells. Different cells have different mechanisms for glucose intake. Intestinal cells contain proteins that
transport glucose against its concentration gradient. These proteins co uple the movement of glucose to the movement of sodium down
its concentration gradient. Red blood cells have transporter proteins embedded in their membranes. When bound by a glucose molecule,
these proteins change shape and allow glucose to move down its concentration gradient into the cell.
Based on this information, what type of transport is used for glucose in blood and intestinal cells?
O A.
nort and intestinal cells
ose by passive transport.
Blood cells take in glucose by?
Blood cells take in glucose
OB.
rt and intestinal
se by active transport.
