Which statement about the transport of glucose into the gut epithelial cell through the apical membrane is true?
A) The glucose transporter on the apical membrane uses ATP-bond energy.
B) Glucose diffuses through the apical membrane using its own concentration gradient; therefore, it does not use any energy.
C) Na+ uses ATP-bond energy as it brings in glucose at the apical membrane.
D) ATP-bond energy is used at the Na+‒K+ pump in setting up the Na+ gradient.
