The carrier type that moves two solutes in the same direction across a membrane is known as a symporter. Symporters facilitate the simultaneous transport of two different molecules or ions, typically one along its concentration gradient and the other against its gradient. This process is often coupled with the movement of ions like sodium or protons, which provides the necessary energy for the transport.
Carrier-assisted transport is a mechanism in which a carrier molecule assists in the movement of a substance across a biological membrane. The carrier molecule can bind to the substance and facilitate its transport across the membrane. This process is typically passive and does not require energy input from the cell.
Carrier Protein
The process responsible for involving an antiport carrier moving solutes in opposite directions across a cell membrane is called countertransport. This process utilizes the energy stored in the electrochemical gradient of one solute to drive the movement of another solute in the opposite direction.

Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion is what carries materials across the plasma membrane. The diffusion cannot be moved across water.
Active Transport
A carrier protein helps transport molecules across a cell membrane by binding to specific molecules and changing shape to move them across the membrane.
The carrier protein changes shape , shielding the molecule from the interior of the membrane.

osmosis
Carrier proteins facilitate the transport of substances across the cell membrane by binding to the specific molecules they transport and undergoing conformational changes to move the molecules across the membrane. This process is often referred to as facilitated diffusion. It allows for the transport of specific molecules, such as glucose or ions, across the membrane, down their concentration gradient.
Yes, facilitated diffusion requires a carrier or channel protein for the movement of molecules across the cell membrane.
