Researchers Are Investigating the Specifics Underlying Glucose Transport Across Adipose

Researchers are investigating the specifics underlying glucose transport across adipose cell membranes.  One of their experiments shows that, in the presence of insulin, D-glucose transport across the plasma membrane of adipocytes is much faster than L-glucose transport.  Which of the following transport processes best describes the mechanism for glucose entry into these cells?

A) Simple diffusion
B) Receptor-mediated endocytosis
C) Carrier-mediated transport
D) Primary active transport
E) Co-transport
