Glucose is absorbed by Na+/glucose symporter into the intestinal epithelial cells.  
<span>
Symporter is located on the apical membrane of the intestinal epithelial cell and it <span>is used for uptake of glucose from the intestinal lumen into the cell (against the concentration gradient). One glucose molecule and two Na+ enter the cell via symporter. Na+ concentration gradient and the membrane potential (generated from the Na+/K+ ATPase in the basolateral membrane) enable the function of the symporter. Glucose leaves the cell via facilitated diffusion on the basolateral membrane of the intestinal epithelial cell and goes into the blood.</span></span>

As a cell grows it’s Increase more than it’s.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

volume

surface area

Explanation:

The growth of the cell includes the increase in the mass of the cell by the absorption of nutrients and elimination of the wastes. This process helps the cell to grow in size. In this process, the volume of the cell increases faster than the surface area. This gradually leads to the decrease in the surface area of the cell. The increase in the volume expands the cell membrane also.
