- Glucose is a large molecule that cannot penetrate the phospholipid bilayer of cells. Instead, glucose enters most cells, such as red blood cells, through special carrier proteins embedded in the surface of the plasma membrane. In doing so, glucose moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Based on this information, which term best describes the uptake of glucose by red blood cells? O Facilitated diffusion O Simple diffusion O Active transport O Osmosisarrow_forwardWhat we know about diffusion states that the concentration of ions inside and outside a cell should be thesame, but in a neuron, the concentrations of sodium and potassium ions are quite different. How does the cell go against the forces of diffusion?arrow_forwardAs a cell grows its plasma membrane expands. Does this involve endocytosis or exocytosis? ATP is not directly involved in the functioning of a co-transporter. Why, then, is co-transport considered active transport?arrow_forward
