The correct answer is: Both experienced the most rapid uptake of glucose at the beginning of the experiment.

The difference between pigs would be in their uptake of glucose during the whole experiment, where the younger guinea pig's cells took up more glucose than the older guinea pig's. This is because older guinea pigs have fewer glucose transporter proteins.
