Best Answer

Because a cell doesn't exist in a vacuum. It produces products for export outside the cell as well as wastes that need to be gotten rid of. It also requires a steady supply of oxygen and nutrients to fuel the cellular process. In order to move all these substances to where they are needed membrane transport is critical.

Why does water have to pass through a transport protein?

The lipid bilayer in the cell cell membranes is essentially impermeable (or have a low permeability) to water and is necessary for cells to maintain their homeostasis. The water transport proteins and other transmembrane proteins are necessary for water to cross the cell membrane.

How does the gloucose get into the cells?

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.
