Glucose can be moved into cells via an active transport mechanism when the concentration of glucose inside the cell is higher than the concentration of glucose outside of the cell. This active transport mechanism moves glucose and sodium into the cell at the same time. The glucose moves up its gradient and the sodium moves down its gradient. what statements about this mechanism is accurate?

Alan Sawyer · Answer 1

To pump glucose up its concentration gradient, sodium is moving down its concentration gradient and the sodium forms an electrochemical gradient in this mechanism.

The protein that moves the sodium and glucose into the cell is an antiporter.

To pump glucose up its concentration gradient, sodium is moving down its concentration gradient.

The sodium forms an electrochemical gradient in this mechanism.

All of these are true
