Answer

The membrane protein allowing entering of phosphate group into a eukaryotic cell would function more like GLUT1. GLUT1 which is a glucose transporter helps in the uptake of amino acid and other cellular components mostly through Clathrin independent endocytosis (CIE) pathway. Dimeric ATP binding protein along with cytoplasmic associated protein present on the interior of the cell allows for the phosphate specific transport system.
