Glucose enters cells most rapidly by __________.

Glucose enters cells most rapidly by Facilitated Diffusion. This is a process in which molecules and ions are transported through the cell's membrane using proteins that are specifically created for that function. It's passive which means it doens't require energy, which is great for glucose because glucose is a carbohydrate, essentially energy, so more energy is created than lost.

Glucose rapidly enters cells primarily through facilitated diffusion using glucose transport proteins, enhanced by the presence of insulin . This process is vital for glycolysis to provide energy in the form of ATP for cellular functions. ;

Glucose enters cells most rapidly by facilitated diffusion, which is a passive transport mechanism that requires no energy. This process involves glucose binding to specific transport proteins (GLUT), allowing it to move down its concentration gradient into the cell. Facilitated diffusion is essential for providing energy to cells by enabling rapid glucose uptake.
