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: -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. The glucose transport using facilitated diffusion.

Detailed explanation-4: -From the enterocytes, glucose is released through the basolateral membrane by facilitated diffusion with the participation of the GLUT2 transporter [4, 5, 24].

Detailed explanation-5: -Most cells, including erythrocytes, are exposed to extracellular glucose concentrations that are higher than those inside the cell, so facilitated diffusion results in the net inward transport of glucose.
