The following Glucose transporter move glucose across the membrane along its concentration gradient, that is from the higher to the lower glucose concentration.
1) Glucose Transporter GluT, for instance GluT1 are expressed in endothelial cells that line the blood vessels and that form the barrier between brain and blood. Small amount of GluT1 are also found in many other tissues.
2) GluT2 appears in Organes that release glucose into the blood, such as liver, kidney, intestine, pancreas.
3) GluT3 are found in the neuronal cells of the brain. The reason is that GluT3 has higher affinity to glucose than GluT1.
4) GluT4 are found in musle and fat cells.
5) GluT5 found in small intestine and kidney.
Another familly is called cotransporter (sodium-glucose linked transporter, SGLT) it pulls glucose against the gradient, it couples the transport of a glucose with a sodium ion. The enrgy comes from th sodium ion own mouvement along its own gradient.

How are glucose molecules moved into a cell and what kind of transport is this?
by diffusion and passive transportation
What type of transport is it when gluclose molecules move into a cell?
passive. any transport that is diffusion to get into a cell is passive.
Some materials can move across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient by?
Large molecules such as glucose that cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer can still move across the membrane through transport proteins by active transport. Active transport uses energy to move molecules the bilayer.
Can water enter a cell by active transport?
There are two ways that the molecules (i.e: water) move through the membrane: passive transport and active transport. Active transport requires that the cell use energy that it has obtained from food to move the molecules (or larger particles) through the cell membrane. Passive transport does not require such an energy expenditure, and occurs spontaneously.
Glucose is a molecule that can move across the cell membrane if the concentration of glucose is high or inside the cell than outside the cell then what will happen by the process of diffusion?
glucose molecules will diffuse out of the cell. apex

How are glucose molecules moved into cell?
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.
How are glucose molecules moved Ino a cell?
The glucose goes in through the membrane and can in or out either ways.
What is required to transport glucose molecules across the cell membranes of the intestine?
To start the process ATP is required to transport glucose milecules across the cell membranes of the intestine.
Some materials can move across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient by?
Large molecules such as glucose that cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer can still move across the membrane through transport proteins by active transport. Active transport uses energy to move molecules the bilayer.
How does a cell keep glucose from escaping without breaking down the molecule?
Compared to other more basic molecules, glucose is rather large. In order for glucose to enter the cell in the first place, the cell must actively transport it from outside the cell wall using special transport proteins. This is compared to a cell passively transporting molecules, where the molecules are small enough (or non polar) to pass through the cell membrane without any action from the cell itself.Once the glucose is in the cell, there is no way to get out.
Why do cells need carriers proteins that transport glucose?
Large molecules, such as glucose, are not able to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins are needed to transport them across.

Describe a form of active transport similar to the work of carrier proteins?
Molecules are moved through the cell membrane by active transport.
