Glucose Enters the Epithelial Cells of the Small Intestine Against

Glucose enters the epithelial cells of the small intestine against its concentration gradient. Select the BEST explanation from the following.

A) Glucose is transported through a glucose pump in the apical membrane that hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and P_i.
B) Glucose is co-transported with Na⁺, which moves down its concentration gradient into the cell.
C) Glucose is co-transported in the Na⁺/K⁺ pump.
D) Glucose follows the water that is pumped into the cell.
E) Glucose enters by diffusion.
