Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of each carrier protein:

• Symporters: Transport two different molecules/ions in the same direction.
• Uniporters: Transport a single type of molecule or ion.
• Antiporters: Transport two different molecules/ions in opposite directions.
• Monoporters: Not a standard term for this type of transport; the correct term for single - molecule/ion transport is uniporter.
