Question

How is glucose transported into epithelial cells of the small intestine?

Answer 1

Whether a cell uses facilitated diffusion or active transport depends on the specific needs of the cell. For example, the sugar glucose istransported by active transport from the gut into intestinal epithelial cells, but by facilitated diffusion across the membrane of red blood cells.

Answer 2

glucose goes inside the epithelial cell obviously by active transport
but there are 2 types of active transport 1st the primary active transport is due to ATP and 2nd secondary is due to the electrochemical gradient 
glucose transport is with secondary active transport the glucose molecule goes inside the cell with sodium ion
