Which of the following describes the secondary active transport of glucose in the intestinal lining?
- The glucose transporter directly hydrolyzes ATP to pump glucose into the cell.
- Glucose slips directly through the phospholipid bilayer due to its nonpolar nature.
- Glucose moves down its concentration gradient through a channel protein.
- Glucose is moved against its gradient by coupling its flow to the downhill movement of Na⁺.
