The movement of glucose into a cell against a concentration gradient is most likely to be accomplished by what?

as soon as glucose is entered into the cell, it gets phosphorylated. so it becomes glucose-6-phosphate and there is still more concentration of glucose outside the cell. because concentration gradients for both glucose and glucose-6-phosphate are separate, so more and more glucose will be taken up by the cells, and is phosphorylated. so glucose gradient remains unchanged.

What does it mean when you are going with the concentration gradient?
Going with the concentration gradient is basically the process of diffusion. Molecules going from a low concentration to a high concentration would be going with the concentration gradient. Going against the concentration gradient would be the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration
Does osmosis work with or against the concentration gradient?
against the gradient
The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called what?
The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called active transport.
Term for the movement of substance against a concentration gradient?
active transport eduction. this is the process in which this moves across. peanut butter jelly time
What is the process that requires cellular energy to move a substance against its concentration gradient?
Active transport uses energy to move substances against the concentration gradient.

What is The energy-requiring movement of materials against a concentration gradient?
Active absorption
What type of molecule movement involves the use of ATP?
Active transport. This is movement of molecules against the concentration gradient.
Is diffusion an active mechanism?
False
How does difference in concentration relate to movement of substances across the membrane?
the concentration gradient will help to bring stuff into the cell and to move stuff out. Osmosis likes to move with the concentration gradient. Moving with a concentration gradient is passive transport and moving against it is active transport
Does osmosis work with or against the concentration gradient?
against the gradient
What type of molecular movement is it if movement of molecules is against the concentration gradient from low to high through protein pumps?
Active Transport
What is the movement of a substance against the substances concentration gradient?
Active transport, or reverse osmosis; depending upon conditions.
What is water uptake at the roots?
water uptake at the roots is called osmosis,this is the movement of water molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration against concentration gradient
How does active transport help the body?
active transport helps the body because it is the movement of substances against the concentration gradient.
The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called what?
The transport of a substance across the cell membrane against its concentration gradient is called active transport.
In which type of process do substances move down their concentration gradient across the membrane?
Active transport is a process that removes substances from a cell against the concentration gradient. The molecules move from low concentration to high concentration during this process.
