By which two processes does glucose enter cells in the human body?Tick two boxes.
A
Active transport
B
Diffusion
C
Digestion
D
Osmosis
E
Transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two ways in which glucose uptake can take place are facilitated diffusion (a passive process) and secondary active transport (an active process which on the ion-gradient which is established through the hydrolysis of ATP, known as primary active transport).

Detailed explanation-2: -GCSE-By which two processes does glucose enter cells in the human body? The two processes are diffusion and active transport. Diffusion is the process where a substance moves from a high concentration to a low concentration. This can be referred to as going down a concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose can be moved into cells via an active transport mechanism when the concentration of glucose inside the cell is higher than the concentration of glucose outside the cell. This active transport mechanism moves glucose and sodium into the cell at the same time.

Detailed explanation-4: -For glucose Since glucose is a large molecule, its diffusion across a membrane is difficult. Hence, it diffuses across membranes through facilitated diffusion, down the concentration gradient. The carrier protein at the membrane binds to the glucose and alters its shape such that it can easily to be transported.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The glucose enters the cell from the bloodstream by the mechanism of facilated diffusion. It occurs between the bloodstream and cells. It is one of the larger polar molecules, and the diffusion of glucose across the membrane is complex.
