The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the movement of a molecule across a membrane independently of other molecules. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms in the question are "movement of a molecule," "across a membrane," and "independent of other molecules." 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Epoplast**: This term is not commonly used in the context of membrane transport. - **Unipot**: This refers to the movement of a single molecule across a membrane without the influence of other molecules. - **Antipot**: This involves the movement of two different molecules in opposite directions across a membrane. - **Sympot**: This refers to the movement of two different molecules in the same direction across a membrane. 4. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: Since the question specifies the movement of a single molecule independent of others, the correct answer is **Unipot**. 5. **Conclusion**: The movement of a molecule across a membrane independent of other molecules is known as **Unipot**.
