Facilitated Diffusion:This is the process by which substances move down their concentration gradient across the cell membrane with the help of carrier molecules like GLUT proteins.
Insulin:A hormone that regulates glucose levels in the blood. It increases the activity of GLUT proteins to allow more glucose into cells when blood sugar levels are high.
Glycolysis:The metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy. This process depends on GLUT proteins to supply cells with glucose.
