Symport

Vedclass · Answer

(D) In facilitated diffusion,carrier proteins are involved in the transport of molecules across the membrane.When a molecule moves across the membrane independent of other molecules,it is called $Uniport$.When two molecules move across the membrane in the same direction,it is called $Symport$.When two molecules move across the membrane in opposite directions,it is called $Antiport$.Therefore,the correct term for the movement of two molecules in the same direction is $Symport$.
