Facilitated diffusion. It is a passive transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell’s energy supplies. Instead, the energy is provide by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell. The carrier proteins bind to glucose, which causes them to change shape and translocate the glucose from one side of the membrane to the other. Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.

When you drink sea water, what type of solution do you expose your cells to?
Alex Ar [27]
The answer should be 1, hypertonic. 

Seawater is highly concentrated in salt, and with that being said, it has a low concentration of water molecules. 

Hypertonic means the solution has a lower water concentration than the other side (cell), vice versa for hypotonic, a high water concentration than the other side of the solution, and for isotonic, it means that both sides of the solution have the same water concentration. 

So, the answer should be 1, hypertonic. 

In addition, when your cells are exposed to hypertonic solution, the water molecules in your cells will start flowing out of the cells, to the outside, due to the difference in water concentration leading to osmosis. Your cells will lose so much water that they may even shrink!
