The ion transporter that moves Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ simultaneously in the same direction is an example of which of the following types of transport? A) Active mediated transport B) Uniport C) Antiport D) Symport

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ion transporter described here moves two types of ions, Na+ and Ca2+, simultaneously in the same direction, indicating symport transport. Uniport transport moves only one type of molecule/ion, whereas antiport transport moves two types of molecules/ions in opposite directions. Active mediated transport requires energy input, which is not specified in the given scenario.
