The process by which glucose can pass through a membrane using special carrier proteins is called
A) facilitated transport.
B) osmosis.
C) active transport.
D) endocytosis.
E) diffusion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

facilitated transport is the process by which substances, such as glucose, can pass through a membrane using special carrier proteins, without the use of energy. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. Active transport requires the use of energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, while endocytosis is a form of bulk transport. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
