Thyroid gland cells are the only cells to use iodine. What must be the reason behind it? A. All cells in the body except thyroid glands have gated channels in their plasma membrane for iodine making it to easily penetrate the interior of cells. B. Thyroid glands cells have the only leak channels in their nuclear membranes that makes the iodine to penetrate the cells interior with the adequate amount of it in the blood. C. Only the plasma membranes of thyroid gland cells have carriers for iodine transporting it from the blood into the cell interior. D. None of the given
