Question

Cells lining the small intestine absorb glucose. Which of the following is required to transport glucose molecules across the cell membranes of the intestine?

Answer 1

There are two classes of glucose transporters involved in glucose homeostasis in the body, the facilitated transporters or uniporters (GLUTs) and the active transporters or symporters (SGLTs). The energy for active glucose transport is provided by the sodium gradient across the cell membrane, the Na+ glucose cotransport hypothesis first proposed in 1960 by Crane.
