It seems That teh molecules can move towards the membrane

Londyn Williamson · Answer 2

The glucose molecule will move inside the cell.

Explanation:

Diffusion may be defined as the movement of particles from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

The glucose concentration is more outside the cell than inside. According to diffusion, the glucose molecule will move from the region of its higher concentration to the region of its lower concentration.

Thus, glucose molecules will move inside the cell from the outside environment.
