Which of the following is true for the mechanism of the 2Na+/glucose symporter?
A) Binding of 2 Na+ to the symporter open to the outside of the cell allows a glucose molecule outside the cell to bind. B) Binding of Na+ and glucose causes the symporter to open to the inside of the cell. C) Release of 2 Na+ ions to the inside of the cells causes release of the glucose molecule. D) Binding of 2 Na+ to the symporter on the inside of the cell causes the symporter to open to the outside of the cell and release of the Na+ ions. E) All of the above are steps in the mechanism.
