The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Uniporter**: A uniporter is a type of transport protein that facilitates the movement of substances across a cell membrane. It is specific to a single type of molecule. 2. **Function of Uniporter**: Uniporters operate by allowing one molecule to bind to the transport protein and then move across the membrane. This process is known as facilitated diffusion. 3. **Direction of Transport**: The key characteristic of a uniporter is that it transports only one type of molecule at a time, and it moves this molecule in one direction across the membrane. 4. **Identifying the Correct Option**: Given the options: - Option 1: Two molecules move together in the same direction (this describes a symporter). - Option 2: Molecules move together in opposite directions (this describes an antiporter). - Option 3: More than two molecules move either in the same or opposite directions (this does not apply to uniporters). - Option 4: A single molecule moves across the membrane in one direction (this accurately describes the function of a uniporter). 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is option number four: "single molecule moves across the membrane in one direction." ---
