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.
Glucose will normally enter a cell by facilitated diffusion.
Because the cell is converting the glucose into other compounds, the concentration inside the cell is lower than outside, so diffusion occurs. But glucose cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer, and its entry into the cell is said to be "facilitated" by transport proteins (such as carrier proteins).
Glucose molecules move through the cell through diffusion. Knowing that the cell membrane is semipermiable, smaller, more hydrophobic molecules diffuse more easily than others across the membrane. O2 and CO2 used during respiration apply to this group. Uncharged polar groups can diffuse if they are small enough. Large, non-polar molecules can also diffuse. Since glucose molecules are approximately 180 Daltons, they take quite a bit longer to diffuse into the cell than water molecules do (who have a MW of 18 D).
Glucose enter in a cell by the process of facilitated diffusion.
The process is facilitated diffusion because glucose cannot diffuse across a plasma membrane by itself. It must use a carrier protein embedded in the membrane.
Glucose enters a cell by means of facilitated diffusion, a type of passive transport involving special transport proteins in the plasma membrane of the cell.
Phagocytosis
Photosynthesis.
Cellular respiration is the process of turning oxygen and glucose into water, energy, and carbon dioxide inside cells. This process is the exact opposite process of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, water, energy, and carbon dioxide are turned into oxygen and glucose inside chloroplasts. Plant cells also have mitochondria, so photosynthesis and cellular respiration both occur in plants. Cellular Respiration (Breathing) C6H12O6 + O2 => H2O + CO2 + Energy (Released during process) glucose(sugar)+oxygen => water+carbon dioxide + energy Photosynthesis: H2O + CO2 + Energy (From Sun) => O2 + C6H12O6 water +carbon dioxide+energy=>Oxygen+glucose(sugar)
Mitosis is the process that produces new 2N cells from 2N cells Meiosis is the process that produces 1N reproductive cells.
The process, or cycle, that plants use to make their own glucose is called the Calvin Cycle, also referred to as the "dark cycle."
An organism that uses Photosynthesis to produce glucose is called an Autotroph. Autotrophs are also called "self feeders" because they can produce food(glucose) for their own cells, such as plants. (A Heterotroph is an organism that consumes other organisms to get food for their cells, such as humans.)
ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate) energy, because it is easily produced via glucose in the process of photosynthesis
That process would be photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process. Plants use carbon dioxide in the air, as well as water and sunlight to make glucose and oxygen. The equation is Carbon Dioxide + Water => Glucose + Oxygen
