Liver cells are packed with glucose. If the concentration of glucose in a liver cell is higher than in the surrounding fluid, what mechanism could the cell use to import even more glucose? Why would only this mode of transport work?
If your cell can use passive transport without having to use energy, why would a cell invest ATP to move particles using active transport?
If your cell can use passive transport without having to use energy, why would a cell invest ATP to move particles using active transport? Provide a specific example.
