Glucose diffuses slowly through artificial phospholipid bilayers. The cells lining the small intestine, however, rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. Based on this information, which transport mechanism is most likely responsible for glucose transport in the intestinal cells?

Answer:

Facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is a kind of passive transport. Although facilitated diffusion consists of the transportation of proteins, it still represents a passive transport due to the fact that the solute is advancing in the gradient of concentration. Little molecules that are non-polar have great facility to diffuse through the cell membrane.
