Glucose is virtually the sole energy fuel of brain. Where as, Muscle can derive energy from glucose, fatty acids and ketone bodies; adipose tissue stores and uses triacylglycerols.
Glucose transporters in the cell membrane permit the entry of glucose inside the cells.
Transport proteins, such as channels and carriers, mediate the movement of substances into or out of a cell. These proteins are embedded in the cell membrane and facilitate the passage of specific molecules based on various factors like size, charge, and concentration gradient. Examples include ion channels, glucose transporters, and pumps.
Mitochondria are not directly involved in transporting glucose across the cell membrane. Glucose transport into the cell is primarily facilitated by glucose transport proteins located on the cell membrane. These transport proteins utilize concentration gradients to move glucose into or out of the cell as needed.
Large molecules like glucose cross the cell's plasma membrane primarily through facilitated diffusion, a process mediated by specific transport proteins known as glucose transporters. These proteins help transport glucose down its concentration gradient without using energy. In some cases, glucose can also enter cells via active transport, which requires energy to move glucose against its concentration gradient.

The glucose transporter is a membrane bound protein that binds to glucose and mediates it's transport into or out of the cell.

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.
A family of proteins called GLUT carry glucose molecules across the cell membrane.
Large molecules, such as glucose, are not able to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins are needed to transport them across.
The cell solves this problem by using transport proteins called glucose transporters. These transporters serve as gateways in the cell membrane, allowing glucose molecules to pass through into the cell. This process is facilitated by protein channels that specifically recognize and transport glucose molecules.
Glucose moves across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion. This type of transport uses protein carriers to assist glucose molecules across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Glucose is too big to pass throught.
