A researcher measured the concentration of glucose in the blood in a capillary and in the nearby body cells before and after a person had eaten.
| Time | Glucose concentration in capillary blood in arbitrary units | Glucose concentration in nearby body cells in arbitrary units |
|---|---|---|
| Before eating | 4.2 | 2.1 |
| After eating | 7.0 | 2.4 |
Explain how the glucose moves from the capillary blood into the body cells, and predict how the rate of movement would change after eating.
