Protein carrier molecules

Can anyone help me with this question please:
Glucose, and no other sugar, is transported into cells by protein carrier molecules in the cell surface membrane. How do the carrier molecules specifically recognise glucose?

I am not totally sure, but I am guessing that Glucose can 'fit' into the carrier molecule, almost like in ESCs; The Lock and Key hypothesis. Glocose has a unice molecular "shape" and the carries probable has a corresponding "hole" which is "filled" by a molecule of this shape.
