26. I was quoting what I was taught

I have little doubt it was a simplified version, and since biological sciences are definitely not my forte.... :shrug:

The image I was given, and my understanding of how most carrier molecules work, is one of a double-ended man-catcher. Catching a glucose at one end sets the trap at the other end to catch a receptor. I have no idea if that is correct, but it sounds right.
