    How is Glucose Taken Up by Cells?

    This worksheet takes a closer look at the cell membrane and how insulin binds to the receptor on the cell membrane which creates a signal cascade, resulting in the movement of the Glut-4 transport protein to the surface of the cell.  Students interpret a graphic showing the membrane, receptors, and the Glut-4 transport protein.
