When you eat a large meal and your body absorbs a lot of glucose and that makes its way to the interstitial fluid before going into the cell. 100% of the glucose should be absorbed into the cell from the interstitial fluid. Why does nearly all of the glucose enter the cell, rather than only half of it?

▸ The cells make ATP so fast, they use up all the glucose as soon as it enters the cell.

▸ Insulin forces glucose into the cell against a concentration gradient.

▸ It is moved by active transport.

▸ It is modified by the cell, so there is still more glucose on the outside of the cell than inside it.
