Answer:

Glycolysis

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration, both aerobic and anaerobic.

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, whereas other steps of aerobic respiration occur in the mitochondria.

During glycolysis, a six carbon glucose molecule is broken down into two three carbon molecules of pyruvic acid. This process yields two molecules of ATP. Two hydrogen ions and two molecules of water are also released during the process.

Following a meal glucose must move from the gut lumen where there is a high glucose concentration into the intestinal cell where

Alchen [17]

This movement from a high concentration area to a low concentration are is called Active transport.

<h3>Active Transport</h3>

Active transport by definition is a process that is characterized by the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient. Additionally, this process requires energy.

As in the question above, glucose molecules have to be moved across the gut lumen of higher glucose concentration to the intestinal cells of relatively low level of glucose.
