Answer:

The correct option is this: GLUCOSE IS CO-TRANSPORTED WITH Na+, WHICH MOVES DOWN ITS CONCENTRATION GRADIENT INTO THE CELL.

Explanation:

The small intestine is the place, where digested food molecules are absorbed so that they can be transported into the living cells through the blood stream.  The glucose molecule is transported into the small intestine by mean of co-transport with sodium ions; this is an example of active transport. This form of transportation across the small intestines prevents the back flow of glucose molecules.
