Na^+/K^+ pump operates actively using ATP to transport Na^+ ions out of the cell to create a Na^+ concentration gradient
2nd step of Co-Transport of Glucose
Na^+ diffuses into the cell passively through facilitated diffusion. Glucose passes through the same protein channels and so is co-transported with Na^+
3rd step of Co-Transport
A high concentration of Glucose is in the Epithelial Cell, so glucose can move out the cell into the blood through facilitated diffusion
How does Na^+/K^+ pump work?
Active Transport
How does Na^+ move across cell membrane?
Faciliated Diffusion
How does Glucose move into the cell?
Co-Transport through the same protein channels as Na^+
