High-Yield Explanation
Ans. A: RBCInsulin facilitates entry of glucose into muscle, adipose, and several other tissues.The only mechanism by which cells can take up glucose is by facilitated diffusion through a family of hexose transpoers. In many tissues - muscle being a prime example - the major transpoer used for uptake of glucose (called GLUT4) is made available in the plasma membrane through the action of insulin.
