A schematic for the catalytic cycle of the membrane protein GLUT1, which transports glucose across the membrane, is shown below. All the molecules needed for this membrane transport system are shown in the figure. Which of the following classification is appropriate for GLUT1?

 

Uniporter
Symporter
Antiporter

Based on the information in the figure #1, which type of transport of glucose is being shown? Facilitated diffusion/ simple diffusion/ active transport

If it is active transport, what type of active transport is it considered? Secondary/primary/not active transport
