Question

glut1 is a membrane transport protein that is used by cells to move glucose along its concentration gradient, and across the membrane. it is made of a single polypeptide chain, that is embedded in the cell membrane. answer the following questions about the glut1 transporter: glut1 is an example of which type of transport? where is the energy coming from that is driving the transport in this case? select select

Explanation:

Answer:

GLUT1 is an example of facilitated diffusion (type of transport).
The energy is coming from the concentration gradient (the difference in glucose concentration between the cell exterior and cytoplasm) driving the transport.
