1
Q
What is the process uniport?
A
when a uniporter transports a single solute across the membrane
2
Q
What is coupled transport?
A
When two solutes are transported simultaneously, and their transport is coupled such that transport or either stops if the other is absent
3
Q
What is symport?
A
When two solutes are moved across a membrane in the same direction via a symporter
4
Q
What is antiport?
A
