lucose enters erythrocytes via a uniporter. As the levels of glucose in the bloodstream decrease between meals, what happens to the glucose in the cells? O Glucose remains in the cell because the GLUT-1 uniporters are gated and the gates close at low glucose concentrations O Glucose leaves the cell through the GLUT-1 uniporter, traveling down the new concentration gradient. O Glucose remains in the cell because uniporters can only transport in one direction. O Glucose remains in the cell because it has been phosphorylated to Glucose-6- phosphate and no longer has affinity for the GLUT-1 uniporter

Question
Glucose enters erythrocytes via a GLUT-1
uniporter. As the levels of glucose in the
bloodstream decrease between meals,
what happens to the glucose in the cells?
O Glucose remains in the cell because the
GLUT-1 uniporters are gated and the gates
close at low glucose concentrations
Glucose leaves the cell through the GLUT-1
uniporter, traveling down the new
concentration gradient.
Glucose remains in the cell because
uniporters can only transport in one
direction.
Glucose remains in the cell because it has
been phosphorylated to Glucose-6-
phosphate and no longer has affinity for the
GLUT-1 uniporter
