Glucose is a large molecule that cannot penetrate the phospholipid bilayer of cells. Instead, glucose enters most cells through
bagirrra123 [75]


The term is Facilitated diffusion.

Facilitated diffusion is a transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell's energy, and because it does not use the cell's energy, it is a passive transport.

The energy is provided by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher  to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell.

The carrier proteins of the GLUT family are responsible for transporting glucose. They bind to glucose , which causes them to change shape to fit in the membrane passage then they translocate the glucose molecule from one side of the membrane to the other.

Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.

Explain the difference between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Explain either an advantage or disadvantage for
ira [324]

In asexual reproduction, reproductive organs aren't used but they're used.

advantage of sexual- A lot of genetic variation. since they have DNA of two parents. they can survive more and adapt more.

disadvantage of asexual- diversity is limited. Since the organism only gets the DNA of one parent, they wouldn't be able to really survive if something happened.They would easily be extinct.

Sorry I can't really cone up with better words but I hope you get the idea. it all comes down to natural selection really if you've learned about it. Hope it helped!!!
