A) It is moved by active transport.
B) It is modified by the cell, so there is still more glucose on the outside of the cell than inside it.
C) Insulin forces glucose into the cell against a concentration gradient.
D) The cells make ATP so fast, they use up all the glucose as soon as it enters the cell.
