Sidney Donaldson · Answer 1

Co-transport system of intestinal epithelial cells. Glucose then moves into the blood through the permease in the membrane between the cell and the blood. Thus, ATP is used as an energy source to drive Na + out of the cell, resulting in glucose transport from the intestine to the blood.
