How does co-transport work?

Both facilitated diffusion and active transport occur during co-transport. Glucose molecules can only enter the epithelial cell when sodium ions are present.

Glucose & sodium are co-transported via this method: 1. Na+ ions are actively transported out of epithelial cells through a protein carrier molecule. 3 Na+ ions ...

In mammals, glucose is transported through sodium dependent glucose transporters, which use energy in this process. Here, since both glucose and sodium are ...

In the gut, glucose is co-transported with sodium ions. There are three transport proteins involved in the whole process of absorption of glucose. One of ...
