GLUTE Tre

Inside the Cell

A researcher claims that glucose is moved into cells by facilitated diffusion. Which statement best supports the researcher's claim?

• The glucose molecules diffuse freely through the membrane without a protein channel.

Glucose provides energy for the protein channel to transport materials across the membrane.

• The movement of glucose across the membrane does not require ATP.
