7 0

Explanation:

Once blood glucose levels increase, pancreatic insulin migrates into a fat cell via the blood stream. Insulin then binds in the plasma membrane of the cell to an Insulin Receptor (IR). Through autophosphorylation, phosphate groups are then added to the IR,  causing GLUT4 molecules to come to the cell's surface.
