Question

A glucose molecule binds to a transporter protein in the cell membrane. What happens next in facilitated diffusion?

Accepted Answer

The transporter protein undergoes a conformational change to move the glucose across the membrane.

Answer

The transporter protein forms a permanent tunnel for glucose to pass through.

Answer

The transporter protein uses ATP to move the glucose across the membrane.

Answer

The glucose molecule diffuses directly through the lipid bilayer.
