Large molecules, such as glucose, are not able to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins are needed to transport them across.

No, transport proteins are also in other organisms.
Transport Proteins
yes but sometimes no
Some molecules are too large to pass through the cell membrane without transport proteins.
There are glucose transport proteins. Since there are fewer glucose particles in the cell (when compared to the fluid outside of cells), it is passive transport, which occurs naturally. The transport protein is necessary for the glucose to pass through the cell membrane.

they work as a catalysator for the transportation. They lower the nessesary energy for a transport to start. This can in many cases only be achieved by highly specifically adapted carriers, which in cells is mostly proteins.
ATP and Transport Proteins
Endoplasmic Reticulum.
The process by which molecules such as glucose are moved into cells along their concentration gradient with the help of membrane bound carrier proteins is called facilitated diffusion. Facilitated transport is passive and does not directly require chemical energy from ATP.
Glucose can move into cells by active or passive transport, in both cases membrane-spanning proteins are required. Active transport (SGLT) uses the concentration gradient of Sodium ions to move glucose against its concentration gradient. Passive transporters (GLUT) are only effective if the concentration of glucose in the cell is lower than outside the cell.
Transport Proteins
thanks to: Bobama 08. question: what transport supplies a cell with glucose? answer: The passive transport supplies a cell with glucose. A passive transport is the diffusion of particles through the proteins. The particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The cell does not need to use any energy to make this happen. Whereas, an active transport is the movement of particles through proteins against the normal direction of diffusion. Particles are moved from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. The cell must use energy to make this happen. This energy comes from the molecule ATP, which stores energy in a form that cells can use. Therefore, the passive cell transport supplies a cell with glucose.
