II. ESSAY
The type of transport/movement that glucose may exhibits is passive transport
specifically, the facilitated diffusion. It is because cell obtain energy from glucose, where it
converts it to fat for long-term storage. Since the polar molecules cannot be transported
across the plasma membrane, glucose transporters, the carrier proteins are needed for
cellular uptake like a key fit into a lock, the insulin binds to receptors on the cells surface. As
the name implies, glucose transporter proteins act as vehicles to carry glucose inside the
cell
