Which process takes place during the movement of glucose from the body fluid to the blood?
Correct answer: D. Facilitated diffusion
- A. Endosmosis
- B. Osmosis
- C. Active transport
- D. Facilitated diffusion
Explanation
The movement of glucose from intestinal fluid into the blood is mostly through facilitated diffusion. Inside intestinal cells, glucose enters actively (with sodium co-transport). But from the intestinal cell to the blood, glucose moves by facilitated diffusion, through carrier proteins (like GLUT2) without using ATP.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
