A) diffusion through the cell membrane.
B) facilitated diffusion through protein channels in the cell membrane.
C) endocytosis when the cell engulfs the particles with pseudopods.

Answer 1

Hello There! ^_^

Your question: Which of these is NOT a way that large molecules, like glucose, can enter a cell..?

Your answer: Diffusion through the cell membrane is not a way that the large molecules, like glucose, can enter a cell.

The answer is option A.

Happy Studying! =)

Answer 2

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation: The phenomenon of diffusion is used for the transfer of smaller and non polar molecules across the membrane. The movement takes place from the higher concentration towards lower concentration.

The movement of the glucose across the membrane is not possible as it is large molecule that cannot pass through the membrane.
