An antiporter is a cell protein which acts within an antiport to transport different molecules or ions across the membrane in opposite directions.
An antiporter moves two different molecules in opposite directions across a cell membrane, while a symporter moves two different molecules in the same direction.
A symporter moves two different molecules in the same direction across a cell membrane, while an antiporter moves two different molecules in opposite directions.
No, the sodium-potassium pump is not a uniporter. It is a type of antiporter that uses energy to actively transport both sodium ions and potassium ions across the cell membrane in opposite directions.
Some water molecules and small ions ( depending on charge, other ions need passive or active transport ) can diffuse across the cell's membrane and there are channels called porins that facilitate water molecule passage into the cell.

A few, like OH- can pass the membrane without help, but most ions need canal proteins (that means a uniport, symport, or antiporter) and probably a carrier protein additionally.
This type of transport system is called an antiporter, specifically an anion exchanger. It is responsible for maintaining the acidic environment in the stomach by secreting hydrochloric acid while also preventing excessive acidification of the cell interior.
