The larger value obtained when more glucose carriers were present corresponds to an increase in the rate of glucose transport. Explain why the rate increased. How well did the results compare with your prediction?

    Prediction is correct.

    Explanation:

    In the body, transportation of molecules can occur in different ways or mechanism.

    An example is by facilitated diffusion.

    It is a passive form of transport where carrier proteins shuttle the molecule such as glucose into the cell without using energy.

    Glucose being a large molecule is shuttled by glucose carriers across the cell membrane into the cell by facilitated diffusion.

    Therefore an increase in the number of glucose carrier means an increase in the rate of glucose transport.

    The results will show our prediction was correct.
