GLUTs are integral membrane proteins that assist in the facilitated diffusion of glucose into and out of cells. What reaction in glycolysis prevents glucose from being transported back out of the cell?A. Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose using ADP, creating a glucose molecule that can’t cross the hydrophobic interior of the plasma membrane.B. Hexokinase dephosphorylates glucose using ATP, creating a glucose molecule that can’t cross the hydrophilic portion of the plasma membrane.C. Hexokinase dephosphorylates glucose using ADP, creating a glucose molecule that can’t cross the hydrophilic portion of the plasma membrane.D. Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose using ATP, creating a glucose molecule that can’t cross the hydrophobic interior of the plasma membrane.

17. Transmembrane proteins are involved in the transport of sugars across the plasma membrane.Glucose can be moved into cells by facilitated diffusion using proteins called GLUT proteins. Theseproteins expose a single binding site on one side of the membrane. Glucose binds to this site and causesa change in the shape of the protein. This change moves the glucose across the membrane and releasesit on the other side.i. Explain why facilitated diffusion via GLUT proteins requires no metabolic energy.
