Mechanism of Glucose Absorption in Intestinal Cells

The human body maintains homeostasis through various mechanisms that regulate temperature, pH, and concentrations of ions and nutrients in the blood. One fundamental process involved in maintaining homeostasis is the transport of substances across cell membranes. This transport can be passive, requiring no energy input, or active, requiring energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Which of the following statements best describes the mechanism that allows glucose to be absorbed into intestinal cells from the lumen of the gut?
