Answer:

The correct answer is E) facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of molecules along the concentration gradient with the help of transporter molecules. As the molecule is moving along the concentration gradient no energy is required for this movement.

Glucose is a big molecule so it does not cross easily through phospholipid bilayer through simple diffusion. The cell lining of the intestine contains transporter proteins which allow the fast movement of glucose along the concentration gradient.  

So by this way glucose move rapidly from glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. So the right answer is E.

devlian [24]
The correct answer is oviduct.

<span>When oocyte (female gamete) is released from the ovary during the ovulation, it travels down the fallopian tube (uterine tubes or oviduct) into the uterus, where it may become fertilised by a sperm. If fertilisation does not occur, the uterine wall and blood will be shed during menstruation.</span>
