In many animal cells, the uptake of glucose into the cell occurs by a cotransport mechanism, in which glucose is cotransported with Na+ ions.

Complete the diagram below using the following steps.
- Drag the pink labels to the pink targets, indicating the relative concentration at glucose inside and outside the cell.
- Drag the correct white target to the white target, indicating the direction that Na+ ions and glucose move through the cotransporter
- Drag the blue labels to complete the sentences on the right, indicating how Na+ ions and glucose move through the cotransporter relative to their electrochemical and concentration gradients.
