The purpose of the glucose receptors is to detect blood glucose levels. The Islets of Langerhorn dispatch alpha cells to detect low blood glucose and beta cells to detect high blood glucose levels.

Glucose is basically sugar so i would say by mouth.
Glucose tastes sweet because it directly stimulates taste receptors on the tongue associated with sweetness. These receptors are activated by the interaction of glucose molecules with specific proteins on the taste buds, signaling to the brain that what we are tasting is sweet.
The insulin binds to insulin receptors on the surface of muscle or liver cells. This opens up little holes in the cell membrane called glucose transporters. Glucose flows through the glucose transporter due to the concentration gradient of glucose being higher in the extracellular environment. This is called diffusion. The membrane only stays permeable (open) to glucose so long as there is insulin bound to the receptors on the cell surface. Eventually the insulin is released and the glucose transporter closes. The cell then starts to digest the glucose via complicated processes called glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
fructose binds to the sweet receptors in the tongue and ellicit neural impulses

Insulin helps glucose enter cells by binding to insulin receptors on the cell surface, triggering a series of chemical reactions that allow glucose transporters to move to the cell membrane. These transporters then bring glucose into the cell, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use.
Insulin helps glucose enter your blood cells by binding to insulin receptors on the cell membrane, which triggers a series of chemical reactions inside the cell that allow glucose to be transported from the bloodstream into the cell for energy production.
Receptor-mediated exocytosis of glucose refers to the process where specialized receptors on the cell surface recognize glucose molecules and trigger the release of glucose-containing vesicles from within the cell to the outside environment. This mechanism allows cells to regulate the uptake and release of glucose in response to specific signals or conditions.
Insulin is the hormone responsible for helping glucose move from the bloodstream into cells. It facilitates the uptake of glucose by binding to insulin receptors on cell membranes, triggering a cascade of events that allow glucose to enter the cells where it can be used for energy or stored for later use.
Insulin receptors are located on the surface of cell membranes. They are predominantly found on muscle, fat, and liver cells, where they play a crucial role in regulating glucose uptake and metabolism in response to insulin signaling.
Insulin binds to specific receptors on the cell membrane, triggering a series of chemical reactions that result in the activation of glucose transporters. These transporters then move to the cell membrane and allow glucose to enter the cell, where it can be used for energy production or stored for later use.
