Question 1
The transport of glucose from the blood into a cell is an example of
which type of cellular transport?
• A) Active-mediated transport
• B) Facilitated diffusion
• C) Simple diffusion
• D) Osmosis
Correct Answer: B) Facilitated diffusion
Rationale: Glucose transport across the cell membrane occurs
via facilitated diffusion using specific carrier proteins (GLUT
transporters). This process is passive (does not require ATP)
because glucose moves down its concentration gradient from the
blood (high concentration) into the cell (low concentration). This
distinguishes it from active transport, which requires energy to
move against a gradient .
